The 40-year-old director Yoav was asked by the editor of ?Cahiers du Cinéma? to write about the potency of a specific cinematographic image. Yoav recalls his first encounter with Pasolini?s Teorema, back when he was still a soldier in the Israeli army. Nadav Lapid has created an alter ego director. In just a few scenes, Lapid condenses the moments that have ultimately altered the director?s life. Lama? is an extremely personal film that tangibly illuminates the vast potential inherent in cinema.
