Yehoram Gaon has embodied countless roles – from Kazablan to radio host, from Mossad chief to family man – yet all are woven into his own life story and the story of Israel. Like Shoshana Damari, Yossi Banai, and Arik Einstein, he is a pillar of Israeli culture, with one key difference: he is still with us. The public sees him as a monumental, stately Jerusalemite figure, but behind that image lies a man who was wild in his youth, sharp-witted, solitary, and outspoken in his social and political views. For the first time, he agrees to reveal himself in an intimate cinematic portrait, telling his personal story – that of the man, not the legend – both to the generations who grew up with him and to the young who hardly know him.
