Desc: Baderech le'maala: Directed by Shirly Berkovitz. During Ceausescu's regime in Romania, abortions were illegal and orphanages were full of children whose mothers could not keep them. This is where Lian grew up till the age of four, when an Israeli couple chose to adopt her amongst many abandoned children - a beautiful girl with huge sad eyes. Not long after, it became clear that the home she was brought to in Israel was an abusive one and at the age of 14 she ran away from home and soon found herself living in the streets.
