The Dune

Through a run of accidents and chance meetings, the paths of Hanoch and Ruben cross. Each of them is living with a page from his own past that has never been turned, and the encounter takes both back to it. Yossi Aviram’s film has no interest in explaining; it watches the silence of the two men, what they have left behind, and how they come to understand it without telling each other. The narrative moves between France and Israel and carries a distance that is both geographical and emotional. Niels Arestrup and Lior Ashkenazi lead, with Guy Marchand, Emma de Caunes and Moni Moshonov in the cast. The film runs eighty-six minutes and dates from 2014. The record’s summary is a single sentence that does not even say where it takes place.
