Synopsis
Michael (John Benjamin Hickey) is a travel writer for The New York Times, travelling to Tel Aviv for work. He is a former bestselling author, having written a book about New York City during the peak of the AIDS crisis, in which he lost a good friend to the disease.
Instead of staying at a hotel, Michael meets Tomer (Niv Nissim), a younger film student in need of some extra money, and sublets his apartment in a popular neighbourhood. The two gay men face a generational gap that puts their personal and clashing life philosophies into perspective.
