געגוע לים סוף

Yam Suf Yearning


פרק ראשון | Chapter One

The coral reef was dying. Dr. Ana came to study why.

"?את צוללת טוב?" asked the boat captain, Yoni. "Do you dive well?"

"עשרים שנה." "Twenty years."

"אז בואי. יש משהו שאני חייב להראות לך." "Then come. There's something I have to show you."


פרק שני | Chapter Two

Underwater. Colors she'd never seen.

"!זה... מדהים" she signed. "This is... amazing!"

"?ידעת שיש לנו את זה בישראל" "Did you know we had this in Israel?"

"!לא" "No!"

He smiled through his mask.


פרק שלישי | Chapter Three

"אני גרושה," she told him that night. "I'm divorced."

"גם אני." "Me too."

"?מה קרה?" "What happened?"

"הים. זאת האהבה היחידה שלי." "The sea. It's my only love."

"?זה לא בודד?" "Isn't that lonely?"

"לפעמים." "Sometimes."


פרק רביעי | Chapter Four

Night dive. Just them.

"!זה מסוכן!" "This is dangerous!"

"אני פה." "I'm here."

Underwater, words didn't matter. Bodies communicated.


פרק חמישי | Chapter Five

Her research extended. Then extended again.

"?את נשארת?" "Are you staying?"

"הים הזה צריך הצלה." "This sea needs saving."

"?רק הים?" "Only the sea?"

"והקברניט שלו." "And its captain."


הסוף | The End

בים סוף, האלמוגים גוססים. אבל אהבה? היא עדיין פורחת, גם בעומק של עשרים מטר.

In the Red Sea, the corals are dying. But love? It still blooms, even at twenty meters depth.
