Ohad Milstein's documentary follows four narratives of voluntary loneliness which traverse distant, cooler orbits around the warm Israeli sun. A butterfly collector, a man with a bionic hand, a self-sufficient family living in the outer reaches of a desolate forest, and a pet taxidermist. All of these individuals inhabit their own respective spaces and are wholly devoted to their world and nowhere else. Between them is one man with his camera who, via the people and the places explores the emotional, artistic, and technological conditions that allow and sustain the very existence of his own filmmaking.
