A documentary chronicling three protagonists whose lives have been intertwined: ELAD, a young man who went in for what was supposed to be a simple surgical procedure, only to come out severely disabled.
Despite his terrible predicament, he chooses life after all. RINAT, his ex-girlfriend, got back together with him after his botched operation, and would eventually marry him.
For ten years, they have been trying to get pregnant, unsuccessfully. EINAV, a single mother, opts to go down the surrogacy route for financial, but mostly selfless reasons.
A Song of Ascension follows the brave, unwavering bond between its three protagonists – the result of all three’s extraordinary life choices.
Together, they share a series of intimate moments en route to their journey’s surprising, emotional conclusion.
A Song of Ascension was nominated for a 2018 Docaviv Film Festival Award.
