Documentary
On the hot summer days in the old city of Acre, a tradition connects the generations – children and teens jump from the old city walls into the sea waters below, a test of courage on the path to masculine maturity. Among the black coastal rocks and ancient stone ramparts, each leap is absolute freedom and a breath of fresh air amid the boredom of the long summer vacation. During the endless sweltering days, everlasting friendships are forged around this defining tradition, as the ranks of youth are replenished from generation to generation. The film unveils a nostalgic and stirring world of friendships, dangers and displays of bravery – all anchored in the experience of youthful masculinity atop the ancient city walls.
