Plot summary[edit]
Alice Turgeman (Laliv Sivan) is a writer whose first book was a huge success. She is a rising star in Israel's literary world, but she experiences a mental breakdown because of unceasing visions of being raped and abused. Ziv Zuckerman (Bar Gottfried) is an introverted high-school student who plays classical guitar, and is trying to achieve musician status for his compulsory military service. The encounter between the two illustrates how crises can catalyze destruction as well as growth, violence as well as grace.[1]
Cast of characters[edit]
Shani works with non-actors, who receive no script but rather improvise the scenes on camera. Shooting was done in single takes, without rehearsals.[2]
