Consolation

What is happening in the consciousness of a woman who wakes up on the morning of the last day of her life, at least she thinks so, and her family are able to accept it? Nechama (Rivka Michaeli) gets up in the morning with a premonition that she will die by the end of the day. To make sure her close family won't miss seeing her for the last time, she asks her granddaughter Neta (Adi Gilat) who is interning in a psychiatric hospital, to arrive early for her usual bi-weekly visit. Neta is busy with a new patient (Nina Kotler), a suicidal woman who has aroused her concern. Nechama's husband (Gdalya Besser) is aware to the psychiatric background of Nechama, so he accepts her fears as a symptom of deterioration or as a revenge for an earlier and still unforgiven crisis in their marriage. Neta has a difficult session with her suicidal patient who leaves in the middle of it; she is continuously bombarded with phone calls from her grandparents asking her to come and with her mind in turmoil she leaves the hospital. Nechama has gathered her family around her, longing for the consolation she hopes will come from their giving up their individual self-centered preoccupations and concentrating their love and attention on her.

Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story

1 hr 25 mins
While he's out fishing with his Mennonite friend Jeremiah Peters on the morning of 2 June, Amish Eli Weaver receives a message via a call to Jeremiah's cell phone that Eli's wife, 29-year-old Barbara Weaver, has been found shot dead in their bed. While the Amish elders want to deal with the issue solely within their community, the Wayne County Sheriff's Department is forced to investigate in the murder having taken place in their jurisdiction, the two investigators being Detectives Bruce London and Mike Maxwell. What is subsequently shown is the current investigation interspersed with flashbacks of Eli and Barbara's life, which Eli admits to the investigators was not always perfect. Those flashbacks show that prior to their marriage, Barbara wanted to marry for romantic love, which is not the Amish way. Eli seemingly wanted the same; he was the black sheep of his family in not always adhering to Amish strictures. London and Maxwell have their theories of who the murderer is; they suspect Eli, who isn't reacting like a typical grieving husband and father, but they know they'll have problems finding evidence because the Amish Eli will have no digital footprint; and the community's sole telephone is a public one for emergencies, usable by anyone. They hope that the unofficial traditional Amish communication network, rampant gossip, will provide some clues. They find that some talk emerges in the form of a collection of women not in the community who were a part of Eli's secret life as the Amish Stud.
