Nominated for 12 Israeli Academy Awards (Ophirs), Dead Language is a tender and romantic portrait of yearning, connection, and the fragile spaces between hope and desire. A coincidental encounter propels Aya (Sarah Adler, Foxtrot), who is waiting for her husband at the airport, to pick up a complete stranger instead. Their brief encounter stirs an unexpected intimacy that unsettles Aya’s carefully ordered life, awakening a longing she neither fully understands nor knows how to fulfill. What begins in a chance meeting lingers across a hotel room, a customer service chat, and subtle cracks in her daily routine, as Aya searches for something meaningful beyond the familiar.
