A school trip to Shoah memorials confronts young Israelis with a part of their identity and simultaneously with emotions and dynamics among themselves. A living appropriation of the past anchored in the present.

타이틀롤을 맡은 주인공 EO(당나귀 울음소리에서 착안한 이름)는 동물보호단체에 의해 서커스단으로부터 ‘구조’된다. 이어서 우리는 EO가 농장에서 일하고, 훌리건들에 의해 축구팀 마스코트로 끌려 다니고, 소시지 공장에서 탈출하고, 머나먼 이탈리아의 저택까지 이르는 여정을 따라가게 된다. 동물의 눈으로 바라본 세상은 참으로 낯설고 위협적이며, EO가 거치는 고난의 행군은 예수의 수난에 비견될 만하다.

It is night in Warsaw. Two very different homes. In one, a father watches sports lying on the sofa, expecting the son to do the same. In another apartment, a wealthy-looking mother sits at the table to dine with her daughter, completely different from her. At the same time, the boy and the girl embark on a nocturnal adventure of transformation, during which they strip off the various stratifications of gender that they have inherited. The streets of the city are transformed into a liberating walkway. When by chance they meet – face to face, body to body – they mirror each other in silence, offering comfort, safety.
