“The best Israeli movie of 2025.” (Ha’aretz)

Winner of the best Israeli feature at the Jerusalem Film Festival, Oxygen is a nuanced portrait of motherhood in Israeli society. Eagerly anticipating her son’s discharge from the army, single mother Anat begins to question her commitment to the military cause when war breaks out and her son Ido tells her that all discharges have been cancelled. When she discovers that Ido had, in fact, volunteered to stay and fight, Anat takes matters into her own hands to get him back. Led by a knockout performance by Dana Ivgy, Oxygen is complex examination of the mother-son bond in a specifically Israeli context.
