Next to Her
2015 film
Next to Her (Hebrew: את לי לילה; At Li Layla) is a 2014 Israeli drama film directed by Asaf Korman and written by Liron Ben-Shlush. It was selected to be screened as part of the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.
Plot
The story takes place in Haifa and centers around two sisters. The younger sister, Gabi (Dana Ivgy), has a developmental intellectual disability, and the older sister, Heli (Liron Ben-Shlush), dedicates her life to caring for her. However, she is eventually forced to stop caring for Gabi, and the balance in her life is disrupted. Throughout the film, Heli tries to balance the immense responsibility of caring for her sister with a romance that develops with a gym teacher at the school where she works.
Reception
The film received mostly positive reviews, although it was considered difficult to watch. Ivgy's performance was highly praised, earning her the Ophir Award for Best Supporting Actress. The film also won the Haifa Culture Foundation Award for Best Israeli Narrative Feature at the Haifa International Film Festival.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2015 film” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q25492813. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
