Sleeping Bears

When dark secrets threaten to destroy her closest relationships, teacher Hadas is drawn into a complex and deeply personal search for the truth in this gripping psychological drama from Keren Margalit, award-winning creator of The A Word.

Working at a school for “high risk” students, Hadas feels personally invested in fighting for her pupils. But her world is turned upside down when she receives an envelope containing sections torn out of her psychologist Ya’akov Eshel’s diary - papers documenting their private conversations. And, on the same night, Ya’akov is killed in a car accident, cutting off any chance for Hadas to discover how the diary came to be in a stranger’s hands.

Hadas is forced to deal with the truths she has concealed from those closest to her - and from herself. Stuck in a less than passionate marriage, Hadas also suffers from an ever-growing fear of impending death. The investigation impacts every aspect of her life- her family, friends and work.

Sleeping Bears blends a captivating thriller with a moving drama focusing on Hadas’ ability to trust those she is closest to, as she questions the fundamental elements of every human connection – love, trust and, ultimately, truth.
