In his off-the-wall debut film, somewhere between Pedro Almodóvar and Xavier Dolan, a really young director, screenwriter, musician, fashion designer and video artist, Adam Kalderon, demonstrates that he is one of the freshest, most exciting talents on the new Israeli film scene today. An original film, brilliantly shot, featuring impossible costumes and a truly hilarious script. The wildest movie at FIRE!! 2016.
