Enya

2023 22 min

Overview

At first glance, Enya Aharoni seems like an ordinary teenager: she rides her bike, goes on dates, posts selfies on social media, and loves shopping. However, there's one catch — since the age of 15, Enya has been battling a cancerous condition — thyroid cancer. The film by Reuven Yamrom and Haim Eliyahu is a restrained and honest first-person account of how the young protagonist confronted the need for lifelong therapy, endured a complex surgery and post-operative radiation with numerous side effects, and had to grapple with the fear of death and societal ostracism in a culture where it's not common for the young to be ill.
