The Midwife to Afterlife

Israel 2024, 20 min, Hebrew, Hebrew & English subtitles

Palliative sedation is a legal procedure in Israel that enables terminally ill patients to enter a state of deep sleep from which they will not wake up. The film follows Keren, a palliative nurse who navigates daily encounters with patients approaching the end of their lives. She invites us to explore the chasm between death and the sadness of saying goodbye, and ask what we would like our deaths to be like.
