Malachi (2025)

Young parents Efrat and Ofir abandoned their newborn son Malachi due to a medical syndrome. Bat Sheva, a devoted midwife, chose to become his foster mother, giving him a new life. Interviews with Malachi’s biological parents, foster parents, and medical staff, combined with powerful animation, reveal the trauma of abandonment and its impact is revealed: the parents wrestling with guilt while longing for forgiveness, Bat Sheva’s boundless love, and Malachi’s journey to understand himself and his past. The film explores human complexity, responsibility, and the possibility of redemption amidst pain.
