About film
This is an ambiguous (in the better sense of the word) comedy-drama about the ups and downs of the repatriation programme – with a visible Russian footprint. 21-year-old Natasha is participating in an organized trip to encourage immigration of Russian speaking descendants of Jews to Israel. On the second day, the group arrives to the desert. Two Israeli soldiers join them for the night and the girls all fall for Shlomi, the handsome combat soldier. When Natasha makes attempts to catch his attention by revealing her plan to permanently stay in Israel, her friends grow jealous and things turn ugly.
