Sassi (Sasson Gabay) and Effi (Asi Levi) spend their days frantically running from job to job in a seemingly futile attempt to pay back the enormous gambling debt left behind by Sassi’s son. They somehow overcome all the daily obstacles in their lives – the grueling work schedule, their obvious age gap, and Sassi’s impotence (a result of prostate surgery) – with love and humor. But when two young men burst back into their home and work space, breaking their fragile, carefully crafted schedule, the limits of their love and humor will be tested like never before.

Nominated for 3 awards, including Best Actor and Best Actress, 2024 Ophirs
