The memory Gitai is trying to archive is that of the foundation and striving of a young country: contradictions, aspirations, violence, opportunities, beauty, and all. He wants to preserve the competing narratives that constitute the history of Israel. He pursues them through a clear-eyed and dispassionate exploration of the juxtapositions of present and past, and through the narrative prism of Jewish history and literature
