Tsili is a 2014 Israeli drama film directed by Amos Gitai and based on the novel of the same name by Aharon Appelfeld.

In 1942, twelve-year-old Tsili is left behind by her family, who flee their village as the war arrives, entrusting her to guard their home.

To survive, Tsili conceals her Jewish identity and leaves the village to search for food, finding work on farms where she endures exploitation and abuse for scraps of bread.

In this war-torn landscape, Tsili builds a secluded refuge to evade the violence ravaging the valley below.

As the war ends, Tsili leaves her refuge and encounters a group of survivors near the coast, all seeking a boat to take them to a new life.
