Synopsis

Demeter's Spring draws a portrait of the cemetery at Kibbutz Givat Hashlosha, one of the few secular cemeteries in Israel. It observes the cemetery as it withers and blooms again during one year. Between being and nonbeing, holes are bored open in the earth, "reserved" signs are planted and empty plastic chairs await sitters.
