Here We Are

In the poignant drama Here We Are (2020), we delve into the intimate world of Aharon and his son Uri, whose lives have been shaped by the challenges and joys of autism. As Aharon approaches a heart-wrenching crossroads, the prospect of sending his beloved son to a specialized home looms large. This film beautifully captures the essence of a father's love and the complexity of parental responsibility, exploring whether it's truly Uri who isn’t ready for this transition, or if it’s Aharon himself grappling with the looming separation.

The narrative unfolds on a road trip that becomes a metaphor for their relationship and the struggle between independence and attachment. Aharon’s decision to run away with Uri instead of following the prescribed path speaks volumes about the lengths a parent will go to protect their child, even when it means confronting their own fears. As they navigate the complexities of their bond, the film touches on profound themes of acceptance, love, and the desire for freedom, while gently challenging societal norms surrounding disability. With a heartfelt performance by the lead actors, Here We Are invites viewers to reflect on the nuances of family dynamics and the sometimes painful journey of letting go.
