Savta

‘Savta’ (grandmother in Hebrew) is an independent creation that embodies the modern world's paradox - it connects us globally, yet leaves us feeling alone and disconnected. Our main character is Grandma who struggles with this physical communication gap, and we witness her inner world merging with reality in her silent space. The internet has revolutionized our communication levels but has also created a more isolated existence, widening the gap between generations. We aspire to be a voice for those experiencing loneliness and bridge the gap by extending an embrace to all who feel lost in today's world.
