The Day After I'm Gone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yoram, a middle-aged man, a veterinary at the Ramat Gan Safari, had lost his wife, and is recovering from this, but he retreated into himself and fails to communicate with his teenage daughter Roni. After she attempts to commit suicide, he takes her on a several day vacation to visit the relatives of the family's mother, and this restores the links between the two.[1][2] The title of the film refers to the dialog discussing what would have happened if Roni died.[1]

In 2015 the film received an award from Sam Spiegel Film and Television School's First Feature Fund while the film was in development. The award citation says "For unconventional and stylish writing, dense and powerful, intimate and direct, of a journey of a single father and his daughter towards each other, two lost Israeli characters, who undergo a fascinating process of self- and mutual discovery".[3] The film was also supported by the Israel Film Fund.[4]
It was bought for distribution in the United States by HBO.[5]
