This moving new dramedy from filmmaker Erez Tadmor is a bracingly funny and emotional examination of the unpredictability of modern relationships. Liran (Roy Assaf) and Tali (Nelly Tagar) are a loving Israeli couple desperate to start a family, but are told they will have to undergo fertility treatments to realize their dream of having a child together. What seems simple at first turns out to be a very long, difficult journey as they encounter obstacles and face up to the reality of their chances. A dream that should have brought them together, instead, after too much failure, starts to tear them apart. Will their love last? Erez Tadmor, one of Israel’s most celebrated filmmakers, crafts a sharp and incisive comedy whose resounding honesty is painfully funny in its unruly and sincere look at the pressures of family planning.
