In collaboration with:

A biographical documentary brings the remarkable life of the poet Natan Yonatan to the screen. Yonatan, who died almost twenty years ago, was one of Israel’s leading poets and lyricists. He wrote numerous songs that have become Israeli classics – all of them set to music by Israel’s finest composers and performed by its finest singers.

In the film, Yonatan’s story is conveyed by his adopted children, Neta Raz and Neta’s son, Tom. The poet developed a special relationship with the young boy, in which Tom filled the void in Yonatan’s life following the death of his first-born son, Lior, who was killed in the Yom Kippur War in 1973

✦ This screening is sponsored by Rosalie and Richard Alter, in memory of their dear friend Stuart Schoffman
