Rated 2.91/5



In a Nutshell:12 lower class people live their lives in a crowded Tel Aviv district apartment building. Focuses on divorced Gabi and Ezra and their young,army deserting son Eyal. We see the plight of Gabi's illegal Chinese workers building a room(off the books)for a sassy, indifferent policewoman. Married Aviram sets up nymphomaniac Mali in an apartment lover's nest. Quasi documentary style is poignant and engaging, giving us a rare look at urban survival in that part of the world.
