Director Danny Lerner weaves this minimalist yarn concerning identity loss and miasma in modern day Tel Aviv. Meow (Anat Klausner) is a nomadic young woman who traverses the streets and nightclubs of Tel Aviv during the day, and seeks shelter in the abandoned apartments of the bustling city when the time comes to turn in for the night. After establishing a tentative online friendship with e-mail chat buddy Alex, Meow soon agrees to meet her new pal in the flesh -- but the meeting was never meant to be. Their scheduled rendezvous is tragically canceled when Alex is rendered comatose in a suicide bombing, and Meow takes advantage of her friend's sudden streak of misfortune by moving into his uninhabited apartment. As the neighbors begin to refer to Meow as Alex and the true identity of the wandering woman begins to fade, the dangerous delusion that follows finds the once carefree woman traveling down an increasingly treacherous path. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
