To Take a Breath (2008)

Sarah feels like she’s desperate for a break from her grim hometown of Jerusalem. She grabs her husband and two kids and heads to the seaside for a much-needed ‘breather.’ The camera, through the rear window, captures the car with the family inside as they drive further and further away from Jerusalem, leaving the city behind on the picturesque mountains. A tyre puncture causes a brief delay to their road trip but eventually, the camera reveals the Mediterranean Sea and its vast expanses in all their glory. However, there too, things continue to go awry as Sarah slowly comes to realise that getting away for a ‘quick breather’ is, in fact, not as simple a plan as she might have hoped.
