Funeral at Noon
Hagar is somewhat of an alien. Childless and unemployed, Hagar cannot find her place in her small town community and in her own life as a newlywed. Only with Yiftach, her 10 year old neighbor, Hagar feels comfortable and unrestricted. The two stroll around the ruins of an abandoned village following a beautiful young soldier who train there. The boy is caught up in the magic of Hagar's game, and helps her to come closer to her passions, closer to herself and closer to a great tragedy. |  |

“In spite of her husband’s repeated attempts at involving her in the village life and starting a family with her, Hagar Erlich feels alienated. She is unemployed and childless and is eventually forced to watch over Yiftach, the ten year old son of the neighbor. But Hagar soon comes to appreciate this gentle, vulnerable boy who touches her soul. In spite of the boy’s hesitations, she convinces him to follow her into the ruins of an enchanted, abandoned village – her secret hideaway.”
