Experiencing Interruptions?

“Last Respect”

Roni (Tamar Alkan Meushar) arrives at the emergency room to be at the side of her father (Zeev Revah) who is suffering from severe pain. The long wait leads to a loaded encounter, forcing her to deal with the difficult questions he poses to her regarding their relationship.

My father passed away fifteen minutes after he was released from the emergency room.
The film 'Last Respect' is about the last day of his life.

Director Biography - REUT DAGBAR ADAMI

My name is Dagbar Agami Reut, I live in Tirat Carmel, situated south of Haifa in Israel. I have a Bachelor's degree in Media and I am studying for my Master's Degree at the Tel Aviv University Department of Film and Television, at the Directing division.

I dedicate most of my time to writing, reading books especially books dealing with philosophy, research books and watching movies.

The fact that I grew up at a place which is socio-economically disadvantaged affects my work, both in choosing the protagonist and the themes that I explore and intend to carry on exploring in the future. My motivation to engage in cinema is for me, first and foremost, a social mission, and my main goal is to make social films that would shed light on issues that are suppressed from the public view.

About the project
“Last Respect” is a film that relates my personal narrative as a daughter accompanying her father to the emergency room on his last day of life. The film explores the complex relationship between child and ill parent relative to one of the most important current issues in Israel: overcrowding in the emergency room. Although based on my personal story, “Last Respect” is the story of many others in emergency rooms on any given day. It presents the situation faced by the weakest people in society, those who have difficulty in making their voice heard, those who are unable to make their voice heard, or those who have no one to speak up on their behalf. During the last six months of my father’s life, I spent countless hours in the emergency room, watching helpless people up close. Simply put: the lack of physicians, nurses and auxiliary workers leads to wait times that cost in human life.
