Shelter

Mona, a Lebanese well connected woman, gave secret information to Israel's Mossad. Now she is wanted and the Mossad helps by financing plastic surgery for her new identity and hiding her in a Mossad safehouse in Hamburg. She will leave this house as soon as her wounds heal. Until then, she is protected by Naomi, a troubled agent. This seemingly simple task quickly turns into a game in which no one can be trusted. The two women find themselves stuck in a labyrinth of ambiguity, deception and suspicion. They will constantly have to choose between loyalty and betrayal. Nothing is certain. No one is safe. There is no shelter. In fact, possibly no one is protecting and no one is being protected and the two women are taken to the game's end that will take them both by surprise. Based on "The Link" by Warsaw-born Israeli writer Shulamit Hareven. (Warsaw Film Festival)
