Lions Awake in the Summer

About this title

Cousins Gabriel and Omer spend the end of their summer break working in a packing warehouse owned by Omer’s dad, Elisha. The film follows the two teenagers, during another routine day at the warehouse from Gabriel’s perspective. Gabriel is a bit of an outsider. He is a slim boy, who likes to observe what’s happening around him while Omer is a much more masculine figure. They play innocent games that become masculinity tests. For the first time in their lives, they will have to understand that every act has consequences.
