Description:

Comedy/Drama | Israel | 2023 | Director:  Avi Nesher | Hebrew w/Eng subtitles | 121 minutes

Novelist Amitai Kariv’s career started with a bang. But it’s nosedived since. He puts out an ad seeking an assistant, and curiously settles on Margo May – a shapely, fast-talking young woman whose single distinction is the sheer amount of falsehoods he discovers in her resume. All the better to help the masterplan he’s devised to resurrect his career. The narrative twists and turns when Amir – a young documentary film director of Palestinian origin, who has studied in Rome and now works for RAI Italian Network – comes to Israel in order to film a documentary about the discrepancy in narrative between Israeli and Palestinian authors. Amir’s chance encounter with Margo generates a possible romance but, even more importantly, exposes a story that is a filmmaker’s dream. If he can decode Amitai’s ruse, he will have a vehicle that will carry him to success. This humour-filled danse macabre swings from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, to Rome and back
