Israel 2024, 25 min, Hebrew, Hebrew & English subtitles

When Gal moves into her late grandmother’s apartment where her father grew up, she meets her new roommate, her cousin Rami.
Rami, who visits once a month from a center for individuals with cognitive disabilities, finds joy in collecting bottles on Tel Aviv’s streets during his breaks. With his exceptional auditory senses, he identifies the exact musical notes produced by fallen bottles. Through his deep passion for music, Rami seeks to connect with his brother Doron, an internationally acclaimed Maestro, who becomes Rami’s guardian and strives to balance his career with new family responsibilities. Between concerts and the streets, they uncover a hidden, colorful world full of music, bottles, and the sea, where the brothers cope with perceived limitations.
