Fire Birds (2015)

Director: Amir Wolf

The Three Old Ladies

Amir Wolf's thrilling debut film, a mystery drama with a sense of humor that touches on old age, death and the memory of the holocaust, features three veteran stage and film actresses as the film's female protagonists. The theme I composed tried to capture the old, elegant world of pre-war Europe, by using fretted instruments such as a dulcimer, a mandolin and a guitar (reminding us of the zither from the famous “The Third Man” theme), and by writing the theme is a waltzy meter - ¾ – which alludes to the three ladies and their mysterious personalities.
