It doesn't matter whether you live in Tel Aviv, Lille, Cologne or Seattle - the urban feelings of the Israeli city-dwellers in Jonathan Sagall's feature directing debut are less geographically than emotionally anchored in a global late 1990s zeitgeist.

Eva (Dafna Rechter) and Robbi (Scharonn Alexander) are trapped in a by turns frustrating and boring marriage. Then Eva's childhood sweetheart Emanuel (Jonathan Sagall) turns the dreary idyll inside out, catalyzing a catharsis. The spark returns: Robbi has an affair with the shambolic Neli (Asi Levy), a lonely hearts column regular. Eva lands in an anonymous sex club after an erotic encounter with Emanuel. And Eva's young son finally begins to defend himself against bullies. Maybe Emanuel, not Robbi, is his father?

This is an amusing but deeply felt film about postmodern enlightened mankind's dream that love is more than a hormonally induced sensation. Sharp dialogue and bittersweet comedy put this self-mocking big city burlesque bang on the mark.
