Reviews
“Based on the script written together with the Israeli cult author Etgar Keret ( Jellyfish - borne by the sea ) , the Israeli director Tatia Rosenthal staged this tragicomic stop-motion work. In her feature film debut, Rosenthal impressively portrays the life of completely normal city dwellers in search of fulfillment and happiness, based on works such as Short Cuts and Magnolia . "
“A funny and subtle collection of short stories, staged as an animated film using stop-motion technology. The rough, sometimes woodcut-like design defies many viewing habits, but finds a coherent unit that casts its spell. "
