Hostages
The highly acclaimed Israeli crime-thriller that follows a renowned surgeon about to perform a routine operation on the President, when her family is taken hostage. She is ordered to sabotage the procedure and kill the President – or her family will die. As we follow one woman’s battle to save both her family and the President, we are taken on an emotional journey where all are fighting for survival and nothing is as it seems.
Slowly but surely, special bonds start to form between family members and kidnappers, blurring the lines of distinction between good and bad as we discover the criminals’ motives and the dark truths behind the perfect family.
