Safe Harbor Safe Harbor Screenwriters: Asaf Saban, Yoav Roeh Producer: Yoav Roeh, Aurit Zamir , Gum Films Language: Hebrew Format: 8 Episodes x 40 Minutes Send PITCHDECK LOGLINE Two Mossad agents pose as a married couple seeking to foster a nine-year-old Lebanese boy. The child is their gateway to recruit his mother; a woman deeply embedded in Hezbollah's organization. SYNOPSIS Mossad agents Yulia and Ori, late 20’s, are dispatched by their commander Amiram (60), to a peaceful Greek island. Their mission is to pose as a couple and foster Amin (9), a Lebanese survivor of the IDF missile attack which killed his father, an high ranking Hezbollah member. Amin was pulled from the rubble by his mother Salma (29), who then smuggled her traumatized son to a UN refuge in Greece, which promises a safe harbor for children from war zones. Yulia and Ori give Amin a home and gradually develop an emotional bond with him. This helps them gain access to Salma who comes to know and trust them. Unbeknownst to her, she supplies them with crucial information regarding a Hezbollah-planned attack. As the mission deepens, something else begins to shift. Caring for the child forges a genuine bond between Yulia and Ori. What began as sexual tension in their first meeting evolves into intimacy and emotional closeness. They lose the distance and clarity the mission demands, failing to notice that their cover has been compromised. As the operation unravels, Salma discovers the truth about them and is coerced into collaboration when they use a visit with Amin as leverage. When Salma is finally able to come to the island for the much-awaited visit with Amin, a Hezbollah elite unit assassinates her, and abducts Amin. Apparently, they discovered her breach of loyalty. Amin is once again orphaned and the agents are left missing key information regarding the upcoming attack. Haunted by guilt, Yulia and Ori break away from command, choosing to save Amin from his kidnappers. But then they discover a devastating truth- Amin's biological father, a high-ranking terrorist presumed dead—is alive. The couple are now torn between loyalty to their country and their new “family” and must confront the most agonizing question: What truly serves the child's best interest? WRITER'S STATEMENT SAFE HARBOR is led by two strong protagonists who feel a deep sense of belonging and loyalty to their country, who are willing to risk their lives for it. For whom the country is their true family. During the season, despite themselves, they create their own makeshift, improvised family, which starts through deception but develops into true emotion. As the needs of these two “families” conflict, our characters question the truths and ideologies their identities are built on. Through this narrative setup, we are interested in exploring the idea of family, loyalty and betrayal. As Israelis, like our characters, we are familiar with having complex relationships with our national identities. We believe these questions resonate with viewers worldwide today, Character driven and propulsive, SAFE HARBOR will explore the deep, emotional journeys of its characters through a twisty spy plot. The series uses the contrast between the cold, sterile world of espionage and the warm, hopeful moments of the couple's personal journey to visually underscore its themes. The dramatic contrast between the fast-paced tone and the psychological complexities will make this series as thought-provoking as entertaining. ABOUT THE WRITERS Asaf Saban is one of Israel’s most distinctive and compelling filmmakers. Ambiguity, his new drama series as director, will premiere on KAN11, Israel’s national broadcaster, in March 2026. His latest feature, Delegation, an Israeli-Polish-German co-production, premiered at the Berlinale 2023, to critical acclaim. His first feature Outdoors, released in 2017, was a box-office hit, and his graduation film On Leave screened at AFI, San Sebastian, Telluride winnning Best Film at Milano FF & Tel Aviv FF. Yoav Roeh is a graduate of The Sam Spiegel Film and Television School. In 2008 he founded the boutique production company - Gum Films, with partner Aurit Zamir. He has been active as a creative producer across narrative and documentary films and TV series. His award-winning projects provide thought-provoking cinematic journeys for international audiences, with a daring, bold tone. Among them the films The Future by Noam Kaplan (Tribeca FF 2023), The Governor by Danel Elpeleg (Best Doc, Jerusalem FF 2024) and the series Tell Me Everything (KAN11 2024). PRODUCER'S STATEMENT Shot fully on location in Greece, SAFE HARBOR will allow us to observe the complex reality of our region seemingly from the outside, from the safety of a peaceful Greek island, but in fact while looking deeply from within. The series throws a light on the lives of children in war zones, a topic which has become painfully relevant to us in the past years. Traumatized, orphaned, hurt- children are the most vulnerable victims of their parents’ wars and conflicts. SAFE HARBOR will reveal the cynical mechanisms behind the war machine, in which one child, Amin, is being used as collateral. During the season, our characters will have to face their own experiences as children, address how those shaped them, and lead them to reexamine their loyalties, hopefully giving Amin hope for a different future. Zig-zagging at fast speed between the personal and the national, the show will be as compelling as it will be unsettling, it’s power stemming from viewers connection to the strong characters who will ask themselves- is there a SAFE HARBOR to be found anywhere in this world? Or does that space exist only within their personal identity, within their own family? We look forward to embarking on this project which has a wide international appeal in terms of genre, language as well as tone, while maintaining core values of honest storytelling.

Curtain Call Curtain Call Elinor Nechemya, Sivan Gal Boico Producers Aurit Zamir, Yoav Roeh Lab Edition: 12 , 2024 SCENE PITCH Production Gum Films LTD Country Israel SYNOPSIS Dekel, a fringe director in her mid-thirties, gets a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity- to direct a new cabaret at a renowned repertory theater. Everything runs smoothly until her estranged father is released from jail earlier than expected, and messages her that he is coming to the premiere. Horrified by his unwelcomed reappearance in her life, Dekel confronts him, hoping to finally put this painful chapter of her life behind. But instead, a shameful, unspoken longing for her abusive father resurfaces, forcing her to confront the true nature of her trauma, and the ways in which it shaped her. DIRECTOR'S NOTE The film’s cinematic language is violent and direct, whilst the images created offer a pathway to raw emotions and a deep-seeded sense of longing. The theatrical world serves as an alternative fantasy, a crack through which memories leak into reality. The shifts between the rehearsals’ protected, intimate space,and the grandiose cabaret scenes create tension, disrupting the film’s tone and tempo, mirroring Dekel’s soul. Dekel’s freefall story is also the story of a space changing from a space of enablement, to a space of drowning. And just like the space itself, Dekel’s point of view changes before our eyes, shifting on the elusive continuum between a woman and a child. A continuum which, once accepted, carries the possibility of salvation. ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS ○ Elinor Nechemya | Director Elinor Nechemya is a Tel-Aviv based director and screenwriter.
