Asia - Asia’s motherhood has always been an ongoing struggle rather than an obvious instinct. Becoming a mother at a very early age has shaped Asia’s relationship with her teenage daughter Vika. Despite living together, Asia (Alena Yiv) and Vika (Shira Haas, “Unorthodox”) barely interact with one another. Asia concentrates on her job as a nurse while Vika hangs out at the skatepark with her friends. Their routine is shaken when Vika’s health deteriorates rapidly. Asia must step in and become the mother Vika so desperately needs. Vika’s illness turns out to be an opportunity to reveal the great love within this small family unit. Written and directed by Ruthy Pribar, Asia swept the Ophir Awards (Israel’s Academy Awards), winning nine awards—including Best Picture, Best Actress (Yiv) and Best Supporting Actress (Haas). Eight of the awards were won by women, the most of any Israeli film ever! (Fully subtitled)
