Life in Stills: A Documentary Film

This award-winning film follows 96-year old Miriam Weissenstein as she fights to save her late husbands photo shop from being demolished. As the film progresses, Miriam receives the help of her grandson, Ben, and the two develop their relationship while doing all they can to save The Photo House and its almost one million negatives documenting many of Israels defining moments. Amidst the sadness of the recent death of Bens parents, he and his grandmother forge a special bond through touching moments filled with the love, courage, and compassion that comprise the toil of their journey.
