FROZEN DAYS (Yamim Kefuim)
This low-budget black-and-white psychological thriller is the debut film of a talented young director and his film students. Unusual for Israeli films, it is cinematically inventive, integrating style, plot, and considerable knowledge of moviemaking. The roots of the story go deep into the lives of the youth of Tel Aviv. Meow is a young woman and small-time drug dealer who's tough, reclusive, and emotionally closed off. She roams the streets and nightclubs of Tel Aviv. She lives in empty apartments and surfs Internet chat rooms. Her only relationship with the outside world is through cellular phones, chat forums, and SMS messages. She decides to meet Alex, her chat buddy. They plan to meet in a nightclub, but a suicide bombing prevents it. She survives the attack and, after finding Alex in the hospital in a coma, she moves into his empty apartment. Gradually, the tenants start referring to her as Alex, and the identity of the wandering woman begins to fade; the dangerous delusion that follows sends the once-carefree woman traveling down an increasingly treacherous path.

Winner of the 2005 Israeli Film Competition âBest Film Awardâ in the Haifa International Film Festival;
