An expose that documents and discovers the private world of author S.Y. Agnon (1887-1970) whose works still resonate until this day. The revival includes many visual productions that continue to establish and preserve his importance in Israeli culture. His daily routine over one week is documented here, along with endless conversations with the film’s directors. The film facilitates an understanding of Agnon’s charm and unique character, even to audiences who do not know the man and his works. (Jerusalem Cinematheque Program)
