A impoverished young girl living in Tel Aviv must struggle to balance
her burgeoning love life with her devotion to her unstable mother
in this affecting slice of life drama from filmmaker Keren Yedaya.
Or (Dana Ivgy) is a popular high school girl on the verge of womanhood
who seems to have everything going for her, but despite her best
efforts to find her own place in the world she is always drawn back
to her mother - a curbside prostitute who can't seem to shake her
shady past. Though Or has made a noble attempt to provide for herself
and her mother by signing on for the late shift at a local diner,
the struggling teen's efforts seem to be in vain as the survival
instincts of her self destructive mother continue to crumble. Now
forced to choose between striking out on her own or continuing to
cater to the needs of her morally bankrupt mother, Or must make
a decision that will weight heavily on her conscience no matter
which path she chooses. |
