Who’s Gonna Love Me Now?

Directed by Tomer Heymann, Barak Heymann & Alexander Bodin Saphir

Saar is a gay man from a religious family in Israel. After being kicked out of his conservative kibbutz because of his sexual orientation, Saar flees to London where he enjoys a lifestyle denied to him in Israel. He lives the dream, but wakes up to a nightmare when he discovers that he has contracted HIV. When he breaks the news to his family, they struggle with fears and prejudices. With the support and warmth of Saar’s surrogate brothers – the London Gay Men’s Chorus – he begins a reconciliation process with his biological family in Israel. Shot over several years, this documentary is about the power of forgiveness and the power that home has, no matter how far we go.
