Synopsis: Over twenty years after Lily and Nira were raped by the same serial rapist, an unexpected encounter brings them together. Single mother Nira, a reserved television editor, comes across charismatic Lily, a left-wing activist who is helping Palestinians harvest their olives. So intense is the chance meeting, that Nira finds herself digging into her past, stirring up memories, and trying to bridge the gap between the person she once was and the person she has become. Nira becomes increasingly obsessed with her 'mission' to find out all she can about the rapist. She discovers that although he behaved violently towards all the women, the press named him the Polite Rapist and described him as "well-mannered" since he forced his victims to spend hours with him, talking to them and raping them in turn.

for reducing his sentence.

Justice Barak said, a woman's body

is not expendable,

but there are other considerations.

What considerations?

- Yes.

That's only a few months

for each case...

...Including the 13-year-old girl?

A psychiatrist testified

he is no longer a threat,

only six months into his sentence!

All I could find out about him

is illegal renovation charges.

Mom!

- Can I keep this?

Yes.

- I'll call you tonight.

Bye. I'm coming, Shir.

Let's go.

- Take these.

Lily,

On the Internet, settlers are burning

Palestinians' trees!

I'm watching it too.

You're there already?

Yes, we just arrived.

Oh, okay.

I'll see you tonight.

Take care.

Okay.

- Bye.

Mom.

What are you doing here?

I missed you.

Are you done?

- Yeah, in a minute.

Want some ice cream?

We've got apple and berries.

On one hand,

you act like Superwoman,

on the other hand,

you're a helpless little woman.

I'm sorry if I'm hurting you,

but...

You're not hurting me.

Aside from what happened

between Dad and me,

there are other things.

If you're telling me that

you cheated on each other,

I don't want to hear it.

- No.

I'm just looking for a...

...way to say it,

without it becoming a burden.

- Just spit it out.

I didn't want to hurt you...

I didn't want to tell you,

I wanted to protect you.

To shield you.

I thought that...

- Mom,

stop making everything

so complicated.

I was raped...

...a long time ago.

I had just met Dad.

For years, I tried not to...

delve into it,

but lately,

with all this crisis and...

I realize that I can't... ignore it.

That it is there.

I had a feeling something

like that happened to you.

All of a sudden

I allowed myself

to look back at my life

and to cry over it,

to mourn over it...

Who cares what she has to say?

We do.

You collected these testimonies

since we met?

Since I went to the police.

I kept imagining myself

showing it to you.

We have to do something with this.

Show it.

Go public with it.

Make a film?

Whatever you need...

I'll help you.

I'll get us some tea.

Oh, take a look at this.

Let's go back

to where we were.

You went to

the bus station and?

Hi.

"Court Archives"

"Israeli Courts"

Only one copier is working.

What's going on over there?

- I don't know.

Have you seen this?

What?

This is...

the documentation of

the 16 women who identified him.

Are we there too?

When were you?

- April, 1977.

Yes, you're case no. 6.

"Near the Arvei Nahal Bridge

"the accused attacked

no. 6 from behind,

"grabbed her by the neck

"dragged her...

"stripped her forcefully..."

I'm case no. 8.

"At approximately 8pm,

"near the train station

in Tel Aviv,

"the accused attacked no. 8

from behind.

"He grabbed her by the neck

and dragged her

"to a makeshift bedding

he'd prepared in a nearby field.

"The accused

stripped her forcefully

"and penetrated her three times

against her will.

"He also forcefully committed

an indecent assault

"by inserting his sexual organ

into her mouth."

I didn't remember

how many times...

He didn't really

have a hard-on.

It kept going soft...

That's why he...

he kept trying

over and over again,

this way, that way.

And before each time

he also choked me

and said that he'd kill me.

Excuse me,

there are other people here!

You need the machine?

- Yes.

We're almost done.

I feel like killing.

I see the rapist,

his stomach and

the mole on his back,

turning on a spit

over a fire.

How?

Like this. Sideways.

Like a bull.

Saying how much

he enjoys it.

It has to be somewhere stately.

Rabin Square.

But I also see the psychiatrist

on a spit.

And the policemen,

the reporters.

And your gynecologist.

- And Justice Barak.

And the High Court judges.

All on spits.

But we'll put the judges higher

since they're above the people.

And the rapist...

I'd cut off his dick.

- Exactly.

In the city square.

And us, the women he raped,

jumping up and down,

dancing wildly around the fire.

I see us dancing against

the background of the fire.

Take a look at the map.

Take a right here.

This is the street.

Not yet...

A little further.

Here it is.

That's the house.

It's just a house.

Why did we come here?

I don't know.

To see if the renovations

went well.

What are you doing?

It's for our film.

Here, behind that window,

lives the Polite Rapist.
