At a time of existential threat to the physical and human environment we live in, architect and film maker Nili Portugali takes the readers through a poetic text and spectacular photo gallery, extracted from her awarded new film, into a deeply intimate journey of memories in the Galilean aKabbala holy city of Tsefat.

A childhood journey that unfolds gradually from her present holistic / Buddhist / phenomenological point of view to a discovery of profound universal insights of what is the secret of all those timeless places endowed with beauty and soul where one feels at home? And what is that one pure art of making that creates them? At any culture at any place and at any time.

Nili Portugali unfolds the way in which her holistic-phenomenological approach to the arts as a whole and to architecture in particular generated her creative process in making her film. A process fundamentally different from the common production processes in the film industry.

The book includes a free streaming access to watch the film.
