The Man in the Wall
One night. One apartment. One missing person. Rami takes his dog on a walk and does not return. He disappeared. His wife, Shir, is clueless as to his whereabouts. Different people come in and out of the apartment during that night – each for their own reasons. Could one of them hold the key to the mystery? Original title: Haish Shebakir Year: 2015 Length: 92 minutes Country: Director: Evgeny Ruman |  |
What is interesting about the one-night, one-apartment premise is how Ruman executes it. The film is split into 12 sequences, each a long take of its own. “The decision was made when I was writing the script. It was important for me to show the episodes in real time, giving the audience a feeling that they are inside the apartment experiencing everything exactly the same as the characters.”

Music: Meir Harnik

Originally, the song “The man in the wall”, was written by Israeli author Yehudah Paradis in 1955.
It was inspired by a short story by a French writer Marcel Aymé.
The story, “The passer-through-walls”, is a about a man who discovers that he’s able to pass effortlessly through walls. He exploits his ability, until one day he remains trapped inside the wall.
In the beginning of the 90’s, the forgotten song was revived by Israeli famous rock musician Berry Sakharov who recorded a cover version.
The song, which inspired the name of the film, became a part of the movie as well.
A new cover version was written and performed especially for the film by Noam Enbar, a cult Israeli musician and performer.
Various versions of the song:

Below is the Google translation:
Inside the wall stands a man
In solitary he stands there
Who knows the man in the wall?
The man is standing on the wall long ago
He can not get out of here
Who knows the man in the wall?
The little man in the huge wall
The weak man and the strong wall
Who knows the man in the wall?
The man whispers softly I want to go out
Who knows the man in the wall?
His voice died away I’ll stay there forever
Who knows the man in the wall?
