The job of policing Israel is not only a matter of ensuring law and order. Delving into the complexities of the Israeli police, this stunning and politically volatile film marked Nadav Lapid (The Kindergarten Teacher) as an exciting new directorial talent.

This feature debut vividly uses the anxiety, precariousness and paranoia of Israeli-Palestinian relations to infuse the clandestine atmosphere of a love story where cross-cultural, cross-political conflict is only part of its couple’s troubles. A director to watch!
