This is a movie about a man whose friends let him down, and the writer-director-star of it is a man who apparently had the opposite experience. Some top actors and other movie professionals, including fellow directors, came on board to help earn this movie 11 nominations for the Ophir (the Israeli Oscar). But the movie is autobiographical in that Gur Bentwich really did have the experiences-- depicted here-- of turning out a movie that couldn't find a good sized audience and of walking around with a heart attack he wasn't properly aware of. Potentially depressing material, but it's kept sprightly as the movie switches from encounter to encounter and from place to place (including one place that is not of this world).
