„There have been several films made in the past decade or so about Teddy Kollek that chronicled his life one way or another by using old archive films, and interviewing him with the background of Jerusalem, etc. I feel that I personally have nothing to offer by adding another such film to the collection. (…) If I have anything to bring to the party it`s a more emotional, intimate and personal point of view. I propose to make a film from the perspective of a son in search of understanding his father who is in the twilight of his life.“ (Amos Kollek)
