Israel / United States 2025, 74 min, Hebrew, Arabic and English, Hebrew & English subtitles

Israeli street-artist Addam Yekutieli kept his anonymity and signed his works with the pseudonym “Know Hope”. He began drawing human-like characters that rapidly gained attention and granted him the title the “Israeli Banksy”.

But when he experiences an eruption of autoimmune arthritis, he is forced to rethink his artwork in light of his new physical disability.

The film documents moments in which a personal human drama generates art and political action.

The anonymity of the hit-and-run street artist is replaced with intensive and intimate social interactions, exploring how painful memories and experiences may be alleviated through art.
