Weinstein JCC

A film by Ori Sivan / Drama / 98 minutes / Hebrew with English subtitles

Harmonia is a modern adaptation of the mythological triangle between the childless Abraham and Sarah and young Hagar. Sarah is the harpist of the Jerusalem Philharmonic; Abraham is its almighty conductor. When Hagar, a young horn player from East Jerusalem joins the Western Side Orchestra, she bonds with Sarah and a unique friendship evolves between the two women. Hagar, feeling Sarah’s pain from not having children, offers to have a baby for her from Abraham, shaking the thin balance in the family. The film uncovers the metaphoric emotional roots of the ancient conflict between two people living in Jerusalem, now seeking harmony through a dramatic encounter between Western and Eastern music.

The Eighth Annual Israeli Film Festival will take place January 18-27 at the Weinstein JCC.

Costs are as follows: $7 per film or $25 for all four films for Weinstein JCC members; $10 per film or $35 for all four films for non-members.
