Aharon has devoted his life to raising his son Uri. They live together in a gentle routine, away from the real world. But Uri is autistic, and now as a young adult it might be time for him to live in a specialised home. While on their way to the institution, Aharon decides to run away with his son and hits the road, knowing that Uri is not ready for this separation. The journey of the two will change their lives.

I had in mind "blinders" or "horse tacks," those covers laid over a horse's eyes to prevent it from looking sideways, lest it is startled and veers off its path, losing its way. That's how I perceive Aharon, half-blind to his path, minimising his needs to meet the needs of his autistic son, completely channelled to taking care of him and keeping him out of harm's way. How hard it must be to see another way, to see a different path in life that might exist beyond these blinders; and aren’t the blinders also concealing his own past from himself, protecting him from having to look inwards, from being forced to deal with his failures, with the fragility of his life.
