Foxtrot depicts a man's dance with his fate. It's a story about a family falling apart and healing, about love burdened by pain, about acceptance, about coming to terms with life, about the gap between the things that we can control and those that we cannot. A story of hope.

Samuel Maoz is the only Israeli filmmaker to have won the prestigious Golden Lion Award in the Venice Festival. Foxtrot, his new film, comes to Haifa directly from the main competition in the 2017 Venice Festival.
