Year Zero

Three seemingly separate stories taking place in Tel Aviv, this film examines people from very different backgrounds beginning what seems to be an ordinary day, although by the end of a few weeks, their lives will have intersected with surprising results. Reuben and Michal, a couple in their forties, decided years ago not to have any children. Michal unexpectedly gets pregnant. Anna, a young single mother, and her ten-year-old son are thrown out of their rented apartment. Kagan, a solitary and introverted radio technician in his thirties, is recording a radio program about his father, the founder of the punk movement in Israel.
