Heart Of Gold

Mali Azulai (38), a bus inspector in Ashkelon, is on the verge of losing her job after a violent altercation with a teenage passenger. When she returns to an empty bus to retrieve the body camera she left behind, she finds an abandoned baby on the floor and decides to take him home. Her brother Shimon (32), a prison guard struggling through a marital crisis, joins her, and the two shut themselves away with the child. His presence stirs the siblings’ shared wound of abandonment, as long-buried secrets come to light. When the baby falls ill and a hospital visit becomes unavoidable, Mali is forced to choose, hold on or let go and face the cost.

Directed by Efrat Corem, Heart Of Gold leans on a strong ensemble — Chen Amsalem, Israel Atias, Menashe Noy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2026.
