LISTEN OUT NOW IN THEATERS IN ISRAEL
LISTEN Feature Film
LISTEN is a coming-of-age story that reveals the human side of Israel’s most difficult realities. It follows Dara Nevo, a young intelligence officer, leading a desperate mission to rescue a captive soldier in Gaza before her father’s killer is freed in a prisoner exchange. Torn between duty and love, she faces impossible choices and the moral ambiguity Israeli soldiers live with every day.
Completed before October 7, 2023, the film doesn’t depict those events but explores timeless questions: How do we stay human amid conflict? What do we owe the fallen? How do we balance justice, love, and conscience when they pull in opposite directions?
These questions have always been part of Israel’s story—but they feel especially urgent now. Through fiction rather than news, LISTEN invites reflection on what it means to make the right choice when none are clear.
