Good morning.
Shaul?
- Zimmer, Tzimmer?
- Tzimmer.
- How are you feeling today?
- I don't know, I - It still hurts.
- Where does it hurt?
- My leg.
Do you see your bones?
Everything's fine.
Nothing's wrong.
It could be a sprain.
We're going to open this.
- Does it hurt?
- Very much.
- Because -
- What are you doing?
...nothing's wrong.
Look!
- Does that hurt?
- Yes.
- And here?
- Yes.
Stay still. Look up.
It's probably a sprain.
- Do you know what that means?
- Yes.
My son was playing basketball,
and he fell.
It's nothing, just a sprain.
Nothing!
And you -
I don't understand you.
- It's a little red.
It's probably a sprain.
We'll send a nurse in
and that's that, okay?
Come on, let's go.
Feel better.
- I work at a medical center.
- I'm sure you have a family to go home to.
I work at a medical center,
and it doesn't look good.
Hello.
Discharge letter, please.
- Name?
- Shaul Tzimmer.
ShauL
I don't have it yet.
You'll have to wait 10-15 minutes.
Ask him, he examined me,
he discharged me.
Yes, but it will take about 10-15 minutes.
He has a few more patients
to see, alright?
- Just wait a little longer.
- Fine, fine.
Were you in room 26?
Yes.
Was it your phone
that kept ringing all night?
Yes, sorry, did it bother you?
- A little, never mind.
- Sorry.
Look, I was there a few minutes ago,
so, please, I'd like to -
- So, please -
- I understand, but -
- I don't want to leave without the form.
- I know, you can't leave without the form.
No, but I shouldn't have to wait
so long for the discharge form.
You'll have to wait 10 minutes,
-just like everyone else.
- Fine, fine.
- So I wait and I wait, and nothing happens.
- A little more.
- I've been waiting for hours too.
- Unbelievable.
What happened?
I slipped.
- Where?
- On the street.
Ouch.
And you?
I hit my ex-boyfriend's mailbox
a little too hard, and sprained my hand.
It sucks.
- What's your name?
- Orly.
- And you?
- Shaul.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- Do you know what I do when I'm upset?
- What?
I pretend nothing's wrong,
like it's all good.
- Where?
- Here.
Where do you live?
I'm not from here.
I'm staying in the Carmel.
Orly, go to room 504, please.
- The orthopedic surgeon will see you now.
- Great.
Can you give me a piece of paper?
Here's my phone number.
Call me when you leave.
If I've been discharged by then,
we can share a cab.
I can help you
because we live close by.
Call me.
Whose horse is this?
Whose horse is this?
This is from the army.
- The cavalry?
- No, it's -
You see this? See your dad?
Dressed up as a policeman.
Wait, look.
Now you're going to see -
Who's there?
Dad.
- What happened?
- What happened?
- Michal, what are you doing here?
- Mom dropped me off.
Ronit called, and...
I guess she really wanted to see you.
So she dropped her off.
I left you a message.
- How hug have y nu been here'?
- Mew hours.
- What happened?
- I'm alright. I slipped.
How are you?
I'll get the bags.
We're driving home.
- Driving back?
- No, I'm staying here.
- I'm fine.
- You can't drive.
- Hold on.
- Did you go to the hospital?
Shaul, you can't go.
Shaul, come sit down
and have a drink.
Did she bring a bag with her?
- Give me her bag.
- You can't drive like that. You can't.
Calm down,
then you can decide what to do.
If you want, you can stay here
or you can leave.
- Please get me her bag.
- I'll get you the bag!
I'll get you the bag!
Why don't you answer my calls?
- What's going on?
- Calm down.
Read this. What is it?
He was in the hospital.
That's Dad's foot.
I can't see anything.
Look, Shimon.
Look what happened to him.
- I don't know what it means.
- Look.
ANKLE STRETCHING EXERCISES
Dad?
Dad!
Dad!
Good morning.
Are you alright?
Did you sleep well?
What's wrong?
I'm not telling you.
Are you mad?
Why did you leave me and Mom?
Well.
I say, let's have breakfast,
we'll have Choco Splash
and make a day out of it.
What do you say?
I say let's go see Bati.
Why do you want to go see Bati?
Come on. Let's do something together.
We'll have fun.
Let's go.
That's why you have to stop bothering me.
But you're pulling me, and I don't like it.
I don't like it.
And I don't like it when you walk so slow.
Michal, stop it.
- What was that?
- You're annoying!
No, no, don't hit Daddy.
Don't hit Daddy.
What are you doing?
Come here.
Bati says it's all in your head,
it's nonsense.
What does that mean?
You say you're in pain.
Bati talks nonsense.
Wait, I have to stop for a few minutes.
Daddy needs to rest.
Sweetheart, wait.
Wait, okay?
Michal!
Don't run out into the road!
Dad.
Dad.
Dad, get UP-
Get up.
Let go.
Let go of your thoughts,
past and future.
Be with me and Michal in the present.
That's what we want
Shimon to do, don't we?
He's so preoccupied.
Let's see.
Shimon's so sweet.
Hi, Shaul, you're just in time.
In this moment,
we are feeling the present,
for obvious reasons.
Because Grandpa Shimon's angel
is coming, isn't he?
We're going on ajourney.
Shimon's angel will come and tell us,
Shimon doesn't have to go
to the past, right?
He should be with us in the present.
Because Dad and Michal
are in the present,
and Bati is in the present.
- Is this supposed to move?
- Let's see.
Let's be quiet.
Let's try to feel it,
maybe it's warm.
- Shaul, do you feel warmth?
- Here, yes.
What is that?
How did that happen?
- What is it?
- It's happening.
It's happening and getting closer.
There.
Michal, Shimon, are you paying attention?
- What is it?
- The present.
- Who's doing that?
- We're in the present.
You are, Shimon.
So are Michal and Bati.
- This is such an important moment.
- Wait. Wait, it's -
I don't agree with this.
I don't know what it is.
Michal, move your hand, please.
An important thing
is happening to all of us.
We are going to solve everything.
Go and brush your teeth?
It's late.
Michal, 10 minutes,
and then you go to bed.
10 minutes.
Do we support the man
we came to heal?
Do we support the man
we came to heal?
Do we em power the man
we came to heal?
We are asking a question.
Do we love the man
we came to heal?
Stone.
Fulfillment.
It has powers.
We take it...
and we give it.
ORLY:
The tiger.
The tiger.
Wow.
It's so big.
Let's take pictures.
Come on.
It's a Bengali tiger.
Do you know how much it weighs?
It weighs -
He's so cute.
The tiger's from India, you know.
Let's take a picture.
- Want me to?
- No, I want to.
Press here.
Stand with us.
- Can you see it?
- Yes.
- Dad.
- Come on, join us.
There.
That was scary.
Smile.
Hello, parrots!
I've already seen them with Mom.
I want to see something else.
Monkeys?
- Monkeys are the best.
- Monkeys are the best.
Wanna see monkeys?
- Dad.
- What?
- Go?
She doesn't like it here.
