Pisces (Hebrew: מזל דגים) is a 2022 Israeli animated short film written by Omer Hamawi and directed by Lee Dror. The film explores themes of loss and denial through its protagonist, Rona, who grapples with the impact of her sister's death while navigating her unconventional life in Japan.
Synopsis
[edit]The narrative centers on Rona, whose life is upended when she receives a phone call from her father informing her of her sister's accidental death, a decade after she left her family in Israel. As she struggles to process this devastating news, Rona attempts to maintain her daily routine as a member of a "family for rent." Her efforts to deny her sister's death lead to a fracture in the fictional world she has constructed, forcing her to confront the unresolved absence in her life.[1]
Festival Screenings and Awards
[edit]Since its release, Pisces has been showcased at numerous film festivals worldwide, including the Festival de Cinéma de la Ville in Québec and the Macau Shorts International Film Festival. In 2024, it was longlisted for the Academy Awards, having earned a qualifying prize at a prestigious film festival or secured theatrical screening engagements recognized by the Academy.
The short film premiered at the Plum Festival in Argentina and received the Creativity Award at the Chaniartoon Festival in Greece. It has also been featured in the Animasyros International Animation Festival and the Lille International Short Film Festival, among others.
