I Shot My Love

Award winning Israeli documentary director Heymann tells a personal but universal love story that follows the triangular relationship between him, his German boyfriend, Andreas, and his intensely Israeli mother.

Seventy years after his grandfather escaped from Nazi Germany, Heymann returns to his ancestral home to present his film "Paper Dolls" at the Berlin International Film Festival and there meets a man who will change his life.

A 48-hour holiday love affair develops into a significant relationship between the two men. When Andreas decides to move to Tel-Aviv, he not only has to cope with a new partner who insists on filming his every move, but also to manage the complex realities of life in Israel and his personal connection to it as a German citizen.

Meanwhile, Heymann’s mother, Noa, who has lived all her life in a small Israeli village, is battling a crippling illness. She watches her children leave the country and a life she and her family helped to build and now cannot help but try to influence the life of Heymann, the one son who remains.

I Shot My Love is an intimate portrait of two lovers confronting the challenges posed by their families, their national histories, and their own emotions.
