Lady Amar

An elderly woman is kidnapped in the middle of the night on a busy street. She identifies as
Pauline Weiss, a wealthy philanthropist, and demands her abductors to release her back to her rich and loving husband. The three "kidnappers" claim she is their mother, Jackie Amar, a poor widow, who lost her mind after the death of her husband and son. The struggle between them intensifies, and turns into a war of identities, reflecting conflicts, divides and gaps haunting Israeli society.
