Founded in 2001, the INSTITUTE OF DOCUMENTARY FILM (IDF) is a non-profit training and networking centre based in Prague, Czech Republic, focused on the support of East European documentary films and their wider promotion. Our activities support filmmakers through all stages of completion – development, funding, production, post-production, and distribution. We aim at individual filmmakers (tailored consultations), groups of carefully selected professionals with projects or films (Ex Oriente Film, East European Forum, East Silver, Doc Launch, etc.), broader professional community (East Doc Platform), as well as the general public (portal www.DOKweb.net). We closely work with key int. festivals, broadcasters, distributors, sales agents, markets, or training initiatives and serve as the GATEWAY TO EAST EUROPEAN DOCUMENTARY FILM.

The film follows Julia, a Russian Immigrant, and her five year old daughter, who live on the border between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, 4 km from Gaza city, in Kibbutz Nir-Am. Due to its close proximity to the border, Kibbutz Nir-Am has the highest ratio of rocket hits per square kilometer, and the least amount of time for advance warning - less than 18 seconds from the time the "Red Dawn" siren is sounded. This is an intimate and surprising story of a mother and daughter who raise each other in their barbed-wired Garden of Eden.
