In this Israeli workplace drama, a breadwinning mother walks an employment tightrope as her husband's new restaurant struggles and her boss starts making inappropriate advances.
"With three young children to look after and her husband’s restaurant struggling to break even, Orna (Liron Ben Shlush, Next to Her) feels lucky to have landed an assistant position with a luxury real-estate development firm. She quickly proves her worth and is rewarded with a lucrative promotion. Yet Orna’s advancement is accompanied by unwanted advances from Benny (Menashe Noy, Big Bad Wolves), her boss. Benny’s transgressions are initially insidious — a suggestion regarding her clothing or hair — and incremental enough that it doesn’t immediately occur to Orna that she’s ensnared in a Faustian pact. With every professional triumph Orna is forced to contend with another, more aggressive come-on. She needs to tell someone — but will others feel she is complicit?"
