ABOUT THE FILM
"Present Continuous" tells the story of a mother that on a Friday afternoon, while everyone is asleep, locks up her family members at home. Ruty is unable to deal with the stress and anxiousness she suffers from due to Israel's continuous tense situation.
She decides to protect her family: Ofer - a 19 year old soldier, Noa - a 15 year old teenager and Yoel - her husband. They all wake up to a locked house, disconnected from any means of communication.
What will happen in the locked Jerusalem household throughout one weekend at the time of the Second Intifada (2002)? "Till when?" ask her surprised family members and Ruty, who did not think it through and acted only by her motherly instinct, answers: "Till there is peace".
Did Ruty lose her mind? Or is she simply a brave mother who refuses to accept what seems normal to everyone else?
