SYNOPSIS
Seventy years after his grandfather escapes from Nazi Germany to Palestine, Israeli documentary director Tomer Heymann returns to the country of his ancestors to present his film “Paper Dolls” at the Berlin International Film Festival, and there meets a man who will change his life.

This 48-hour love affair develops into a significant relationship between Tomer and Andreas Merk, a German dancer. When Andreas decides to move to Tel-Aviv, he not only has to cope with a new partner, but to manage the complex realities of life in Israel and his personal connection to it as a German.

Tomer’s mother, descendant of German immigrants was born and lived all her life in a small Israeli village, where she raised five sons. One by one, she watches her children leave the country she and her family helped to build, and now cannot help but try to influence the life of Tomer, the one son who remains.

I SHOT MY LOVE tells a personal but universal love story and follows the triangular relationship between Tomer, his German boyfriend, and his intensely Israeli mother.

Tomer Heymann created this wonderful and moving film from personal footage he had been shooting for the past years. I Shot My Love deals with the cultural and historical gaps and baggage Andreas and Tomer are confronting, and for the first time coping with Andreas past of being sexual abused in the Catholic Church.

The film is a great success in festivals (won the best mid-length award at the HotDocs Film Festival) and lately was invited to be theatrically released in Germany and other countries.
