Tunnels. Modan R.

Having learned that the famous collector of ancient artifacts is forced to sacrifice his collection to the Jewish University in Jerusalem, Nily Brooshi decides at all costs to get an ancient tablet stored in him. This plate is the last hope to complete the excavations that were once begun by the father of the Nili, which may help to find the most important religious artifact in the Middle East. In order to restore the good name of the father, whose glory was stolen by a colleague-rival, the girl has to join forces with a greedy collector, religious nationalist and Palestinian smugglers. All of them pursue their own goals and, in the course of excavations, are increasingly mourning in lies, espionage and prejudices.

Having studied the history of the Hunting of the Covenant, the Israeli artist Rutu Modan skillfully interprets science, politics and family relations in the “tunnels”, To figure out what real motives are hidden behind the desire to find a sacred artifact.
