In the early seventies, Israeli television went on a major recruitment drive, headhunting young and promising radio editors, of which Raquel Chalfi was one. In this film Chalfi offers a fascinating exploration of the matchmaking and dating scene across all strata of Israeli society, employing multiple points of view and a nonlinear narrative structure.
