Trailer Synopsis Cast

The last play directed by Hanoch Levin. Somewhere, in a desolate village at the edge of a vast land lived two old people, a husband and wife. They took ill and died, lamenting their unfulfilled lives. A young mother holding her dying baby boy, walked through fields looking for a remedy. But the baby died. A mule driver who lost his son drove a group of prostitutes and drunkards in his cart, and yet had no one to share in his pain; his passengers were in the pursuit of happiness. Cherubs who happened to be passing by, collected the souls of the dead.
