A Film by: Ilan Haytner
(Israel, 2002, 101 Minutes, Color, Hebrew, English subtitles, Cast: Osnat Hakim, Guy Loel, Benni Avni, Alma Zak)
Golan, an almost 30 year old guy from Tel-Aviv, was supposed to be a married CEO, wining and dining with friends. Instead, he resists growing up and lives his life searching for the love of his life. But finding a girl is like trying to choose an ice cream flavor. How can you pick just one??? Golan finally falls in love with an irresistible and unpredictable girl, who happens to be his best friend’s sister. She shakes his world and shows him what “real life” is all about. Not your typical boy meets girl, boy loses girl story.
