Zohar, a young dancer, arrives in Berlin to visit her best friend Shira. She meets Gillen, an insecure German poet, and together with Shira’s boyfriend, the four form a friendship that, for a moment, makes anything seem possible. But as the bond between Zohar and Gillen deepens, the bubble they have built around themselves begins to unravel. When a violent incident reveals sides of each other, they had never seen before, the two refuse to let go. What begins as an attempt to repair their relationship, culminates in an intimate and extreme event that will change them both. An intimate portrait of young people searching for belonging and meaning in the world, struggling with the gap between fantasy and reality.
