Full Description
Noam is a daredevil. He performs dangerous balancing acts on the balustrade of his balcony, high above the traffic below. He sees this game as a sort of contest between himself and the world. If he wins, his father will come back and his parents will get back together. That night, his mother announces to Noam and his two sisters that the family is moving away from Tel Aviv, without their father. A simple, beautifully crafted story about how a child experiences his parents' divorce.
