She died 41 years ago, but even today, Lea Goldberg is still an
enigmatic figure - she is Israel's most beloved poet, a powerful
woman, who lived with her mother and never married, a woman who
invented herself from the ashes of WWW1 though her magical poetry. The
film is a cinematic fantasy in five acts, using animation, after
affects, archives, still photos, original music and interviews that
celebrate together the fascinating story of L. Goldberg.
Director: Ram Loevy.
