A Lone Streetlight
Gila, 65, was convinced that she would spend her final years all alone. She retired from her job in childcare on her kibbutz, after spending years tending to pre-schoolers. Then, fifteen years ago, she got divorced. Now, she spends most evenings with her family, who also live on the kibbutz. There’s her daughter Hadar, 44, her husband Yoni, 50, and their kids, who have a propensity to get wild. The couple’s relationship is in crisis, but then again, it’s not the first time.
Cupcakes
We follow Sophie, a 30-something with a borderline obsessive crush on her Los Angeles neighbor, as she attempts to share her birthday cupcakes with the object of her affection. However, these baked goods are made with more than just their sugary components, and she must consider who is worthy of the sweetness of her heart. Ironically, it is the act of reaching out that allows her to reach in, ultimately falling for the person for whom she has been waiting all along: herself.
If...Then...Now…
