Teenage Lana is languishing in her run-down hometown on Israel’s sun-soaked north coast—until an older, attractive writer arrives with tales of a mermaid sighting off the shore of the declining resort town.

An intense twenty-minute drama by the young director Lotan Serur. Twenty-year-old Yoni returns from India to his hometown kibbutz, where he is greeted by his older brother Raz. The brothers warmly welcome each other, but Yoni begins to behave strangely: he calls for peace worldwide, hijacks a tractor, and drives it towards the Syrian border... Will this «peculiar person», whom the entire community urges to be restrained and sent for treatment, manage to cross to the other side — and if so, what happens next?

Since his boyfriend left him, Yotam hasn’t slept alone. He developed an obsession for dating apps and spends his nights in the arms of strangers. One day, he discovers he’s been infected with an insufferable skin disease and realizes he’s got no choice but to stop his way of living for a while. His journey into the midst of his first night alone will find him and his obsession in very dark and itchy places.
