When heroes fly

Cinema

„When heroes fly“ ran 2018 in the festival cinema program.

Winner of the "Best Series Award" at this year's Cannesseries festival, the Israeli action series "When Heroes Fly" follows four special forces veterans who must reunite eleven years after a dramatic break to track down a sister, lover and friend long thought dead in the Colombian jungle. Against this backdrop captured in stunning imagery, they must face the demons of their shared past and literally go through hell to find peace - and perhaps even the missing woman - at the end of a long and action-filled road.

Four friends, 11 years after a major falling out, reunite on a final mission: to find Yaeli, the former lover of one man and sister of another. Can they triumph over and find the strength required to lay past demons to rest? Set deep in the Colombian jungle this is a story of fighting for life as well as overcoming personal demons to find peace.
