A high-school girl recalls the events of the last summer of her life. Mainly, her relationship with an autistic fellow class member. A parody of the major tropes usually found in high-school level student films; including the cinematography and editing style, plot structure and production value.
Safe Space tells of a single night with a Birthright group as they spend this time in the Israeli desert, at Kfar Hanokdim. During this night, Hili, the protagonist of the film, comes to terms with her identity as both an Israeli and an American, while navigating the limits between both worlds. For her, this trip becomes the ultimate distillation of her experience in life, while also opening her eyes to the empowerment and sense of identity and belonging it gives to her American peers.
