Amitai Kariv (Israeli comedy star Adir Miller) wrote several best-sellers before his sales tanked and Israel’s literary establishment wrote him off. From the depths of his midlife crisis, Amitai hatches a plan that involves making over a young actress, Margo, into a master’s student promoting a reassessment of Amitai’s books. As their falsehoods pile up, a documentary filmmaker becomes entangled with the duo, threatening all their plans. Surprises and twists abound in this bittersweet comedy written and directed by celebrated Israeli filmmaker Avi Nesher.
