Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Haim Tabakman previously directed 'Eyes Wide Open,' another film about forbidden intimacy in conservative spaces—he's basically Israel's specialist in repressed desire.
The film quietly explores class tension in Israeli society: Yoel's bourgeois respectability versus the apartment's location in 'the poor side of town' where Ewa's other life happens.
