Hotel rooms are rarely the destination for pilgrimage. In one hotel room, an iconic picture was taken - the portrait of Theodor Herzl, the most renowned zionist leader. Filmmaker Matan Tal visits the room and explores how the connection between Herzl and the room, echos Herzl’s own ideology. Which raises the question: Can people and places be connected forever?
