Joy, a young woman living in Tel Aviv, has a love-hate relationship with the city's casual sex scene. As it stands, she lives in the same neighborhood as her ex, making it nearly impossible for her to move on. And when her new hook-up buddy tells her flatly not to fall in love with him, she's stuck suspended, just out of reach of something meaningful. This is a story about young people who yearn for intimacy but are scared to get too close.. Winner of the Jury Award for Best Narrative Feature at the Calgary Underground Film Festival. Winner of Best Film in the International Competition at the Mar del Plata Film Festival.. "...A work that attests to creative thought and is worthy to be called art. Everyone for whom Israeli cinema is important should take an interest not only in what is happening at its center but also on its margins, where promise resides." - Uri Klein, Haaretz. (less)
