This tender observational drama explores the fragile equilibrium of an older couple’s relationship as they navigate love, aging, and family obligations. Celebrated Israeli actors Sasson Gabai and Asi Levy costar as Sassi and Effi who, despite an age gap and daily struggles, maintain emotional balance rooted in humor and devotion. Their lives are shaken when two young men—a grandson returning from Europe and a former student of Effi’s—reopen old wounds and create new tensions. With Israeli Academy Award-nominated lead performances, this film is a meditative examination of the human desire for bliss.
