The story of Thomas Edison, the inventor as a child Cast: Eyal Shechter/Sharon Tzur, Amnon Wolf/Gil Wasserman/Ido Yona Yamin, Anat Federschneider, Nadav Lior/Uri Oryan, Hila Matzker-Halevy, Amit Epstein/Eyal Kantov, Elad Atraktzi/Elior Amsalem Thomas Edison grows up in a small town in the United States. He is considered a strange child who can't meet the accepted expectations of society, family, and school. He is constantly preoccupied with questions about phenomena no one can explain, and obsessively conducts dangerous scientific experiments that nearly cause real disasters and make his father very angry every time he has to pay for the damage caused. But Edison's curiosity only grows, and he does everything he can to fund his experiments. The conflict between him and those around him intensifies until Thomas feels hunted by everyone. He is deeply unhappy and decides to run away from home, but then something happens that makes everyone understand the power of his inventions: his close friend urgently needs surgery, but it can't be performed because night has fallen, and surgery can't be done by lantern light. Thomas finds a solution in the form of a new invention. He brings light into the house, and brings light into the world.
