"It is really about the essence of human life! I find it incredibly beautiful! It is really a moving experience ... I think it is obviously art built and master full ... (Prof. Howard Davis,University of Oregon,on my film and the alley she whitewashed in light blue.)"
At a time of existential threat to the physical and human environment we live in, architect and film maker Nili Portugali takes the readers through a poetic essay and a spectacular photo gallery, extracted from her awarded new film, into a deeply intimate journey of memories in the Galilean holy Kabbala city of Tsefat. A childhood journey that unfolds gradually from her present holistic/Buddhist/phenomenological point of view to a discovery of profound universal insights of what is the secret of all those timeless places endowed with beauty and soul where one feels at home? And what is that one pure art of making that creates them? At any culture, at any place, and at any time.
