In the gritty, urban landscape of Tel Aviv, a seemingly endless cast of characters converge in a chaotic dance of love, lust, and societal frustration. Gabi, a free-spirited sexpot, and her older lover Hezi navigate their illicit affair amidst the racket of an illegal construction site, while Holocaust survivor Schwartz teeters on the brink of mental collapse. As Ezra supervises the construction chaos next door, his own life is marked by divorce and disillusionment. Amidst this cacophony of human experience, Amos Gitai masterfully weaves a complex tapestry of lives, capturing the messy complexity of modern Israel with unflinching candor.
