“The best places to raise Children” "Perah" The Video “The Best Place to Raise Children” and The Video "Perach" deals with life in the shadow of constant danger, and the ability to adapt to the deceptive reality between routine and war. Nissim has filmed ten women from Kibbutz, aged 18 to 90, in the open fields outside the kibbutz near the Guza border. One after the other, the women tells about their dealing with fear during war and with life in the periods of calm, accompanied by a feeling that the quiet is only temporary. Prominent among the women is resignation, an acceptance of the situation, and coping with the fear by reducing its impact in everyday life, the choice to stay and clinging to the place and to the community life. All this constitute a kind of a screen, a cover that allows us to cope with the harsh and deceptive reality. The cracks open up only when the women talk about the fear for their little children and the dogs.
