LOGLINE
In a Druze village where reincarnation shapes fate, investigator Jimmy Falah must solve his mentor's murder and find the mentor's missing 8-year-old granddaughter, uncovering past debts that could end the cycle of rebirth and revenge.
SYNOPSIS
In a Druze village in northern Israel, investigator Jamal "Jimmy" Falah faces his toughest case when his mentor is murdered and the mentors' granddaughter, Nano, goes missing. Jimmy uncovers family secrets, a violent history, and the belief that Nano is the reincarnation of a murdered bride. As he pieces together the truth, Jimmy confronts the vengeful brother behind the crimes. In a tense showdown, Jimmy chooses forgiveness over revenge, saving Nano and breaking the cycle of reincarnation and vengeance.
WRITER'S STATEMENT
The series delves into the mysterious Druze community, blending mysticism, tension, and intrigue. As a Druze, I bring authenticity, revealing complexities only an insider can. While reincarnation is central, the series also explores the secretive nature of Druze life—its divisions, gossip, and generational conflicts. The eight episodes, inspired by my experiences, use voice-over monologues to explore each character's past, gradually uncovering their motivations and ties to the narrative, while offering viewers a rare glimpse into a world rarely portrayed on screen.
ABOUT THE WRITER
A Druze screenwriter, director, and producer known for his work in film and television. His feature film ARABANI is recognized as the first Druze-Israeli film Jerusalem Film Festival award-winner. His 2023 documentary THE THIRD MAN, commissioned by Makan 33 - Israeli Broadcasting Corporation, premiered at the Haifa International Film Festival. Adwan is currently developing a feature film supported by the Israel Film Fund. He also appeared as an actor in the fourth season of FAUDA.
PRODUCER'S STATEMENT
Adi Adwan, whom I’ve known for nearly 20 years, conceived the idea for the series. We began developing it during our travels up north, searching for locations and further honed it during the workshop.
From the beginning, I was drawn to the mystical and religious concepts unfolding within a closed society. The uniqueness of using reincarnation to solve various cases is magical. It's a significant challenge, but Adi's advantage, coming from the Druze community and knowledgeable about its secrets, is immense.
We still have a way to go, but the foundations are solid and available starting today.
