Synopsis
Well into their '70s, Yehezkel and his wife Levana are living a comfortable life inside a Jerusalem retirement home.
But their contented lives are soon dealt a deep shock when their dear friend Max falls prey to an irreversible illness.
Looking for a way out, Max asks Yehezkel for help to end
his suffering. Yehezkel, a longtime amateur inventor, rises to the challenge by constructing a machine that will allow Max to self-
administer a dose of tranquilizers. Levana, however, believes
that such a device is immoral, and expresses her passionate disapproval. But when Levana herself begins to face a serious
health issue, Yehezkel finds that his feelings about his new
contraption become increasingly complicated.

There are not a lot of films on this week's list of limited releases and almost none of them look like they will expand enough to earn some measure of mainstream success. When Marnie Was There seems like the best candidate, but it is very hard for an animated film in limited release.
