SUBLET

CO-PRESENTED BY STROUM JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER

Eytan Fox; 2020; Israel/USA; 89 mins.; in English and subtitled Hebrew 

Travel writer Michael (John Benjamin Hickey, The Big C, The Good Wife) arrives in Tel Aviv on assignment, having sublet a flat from Tomer, a handsome film student. Discovering Tomer has nowhere else to stay, Michael offers him the couch in exchange for the free spirit showing him around the energetic local scene. They couldn’t be more different, though: Michael is 55, married, and long settled into life with his husband. Tomer is young and messy, with little responsibility and some unbending and free-spirited beliefs about life. Over seven days, they learn about each other in unexpected ways. Having premiered at Tribeca, this quiet yet passionate drama, the latest film by the always-anticipated director Eytan Fox (YOSSI & JAGGER, THE BUBBLE), evokes humor, charm, and human connection.
