Program Notes

An ethereal mystery story about tragedy and love, SEVEN MINUTES IN HEAVEN tackles the weighty notion of fate with rare artistry. Galia is piecing her life back together after a horrible suicide bombing that killed her boyfriend and left her severely injured. Grieving, struggling to rehabilitate and still disoriented from the incident, Galia seems to have hit rock bottom when a kind stranger named Boaz enters her life. Spun by her immediate connection with Boaz, Galia recognizes that there is something about their relationship that cannot be reconciled until she discovers what really happened on the fateful day of the attack.
