Morad - a teenager from an Arab village in the north of Israel disconnects himself from people following a violent attack that he experienced. As a last resort before hospitalization he is taken by his devoted father to be treated with dolphins in Eilat on the Red Sea.
Morad starts speaking again after months of silence but he erases his past and refuses to go home to his awaiting mother. This documentary, filmed over four years, is about the devastating havoc that human violence can wreak upon the human soul, and about the healing powers of nature and of love.

The film follows efforts to prevent the extinction of wild oyster reefs, which keep our oceans healthy by filtering water and engineering ecosystems. Today, because of overfishing and pollution, wild oyster reefs have been declared 'the most severely impacted marine habitat on Earth' and no longer play a role in their ecosystems. Now scientists, government officials, artists and environmentalists are fighting to bring oysters back to the former oyster capital of the world - New York Harbor.

A Q&A with filmmaker Emily Driscoll will follow the screening.
