Synopsis
In a Parisian taxi, a man learns from a Moroccan fortune-teller that his sister is about to die. In an attempt to alter the prediction, the brother embarks on a fictional journey between Morocco, Israel and Paris. Based on family archives and excerpts from the Viviane Cinematic trilogy co-directed by Ronit and Shlomi Elkabetz - Including To Take a Wife, Shiva and Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem - Black Notebooks invites us into the intimacy of a Jewish-Arab family, a family of uprooted exiles, in an imaginary story where a brother and sister revisit the past and the present to defy an implacable future. But the prophecy still shadows them, as in life, so in cinema.
In Black Notebooks - Ronit, his love letter to his sister and to cinema, Shlomi chronicles the making of their film Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem, as the siblings are faced with Ronit’s illness. Determined for Ronit to stay alive, they embark on a journey, traveling the world with their film and attempting to change destiny. Ronit Elkabetz died in 2016 at the age of 51.
