Someone to Love

Ofir Tranin

Three years have passed since the divorce of 10-yearold Shay’s parents. No one, not even his parents or his older brothers and sisters, has ever discussed the subject with him. In this film, Shay opens up for the first time and speaks freely about his personal pain and the lack of love that he feels. While filming this movie, Shay falls in love with a young girl, a moment of hope which allows him to find the kind of love he was looking for.
