Morad, a teenager from an Arab village in the north of Israel, disconnects himself from humans following a violent attack.

As a last resort before hospitalization in a mental institution, he is taken by his devoted father to be treated with dolphins in Eilat.

Morad starts speaking again after months of silence, but he erases his past and refuses to go home to his mother. This documentary is about the devastating havoc that trauma can wreak upon the human soul, and about the healing powers of nature and love.

Following the film meet Prof. Gabi Barbash, Director General of the Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov), who will speak about the hospital's world-renowned trauma treatment center.

From acclaimed director Agnieszka Holland,In Darkness is based on a true story. Leopold Socha, a sewer worker and petty thief in Lvov, a Nazi occupied city in Poland, one day encounters a group of Jews trying to escape the liquidation of the ghetto.

He hides them for money in the labyrinth of the town's sewers beneath the bustling activity of the city above. What starts out as a straightforward and cynical business arrangement turns into something very unexpected, the unlikely alliance between Socha and the Jews as the enterprise seeps deeper into Socha's conscience.

The film is also an extraordinary story of survival as these men, women and children all try to outwit certain death during 14 months of increasing and intense danger.
