Fake It
Zohar, 30-years old is a photographer. Currently, she is preparing for a show documenting the small, loving and magical moments she shared with Ella, her former lover, alongside heartrending photographs of pain and parting. Unfortunately, she does not have enough photographs for a solo exhibition and is in dire need of more.
Zohar pays a surprise visit to Ella at a coffee shop where she is employed, moments before the closing and begins a campaign of persuasion. All she asks is that they recreate events from the past and photograph them.
Ella adamantly refuses. She knows that the story will not have a happy ending.
Zohar is about to give up, but decides to pull out her winning card. She offers to pay Ella 1000 NIS per day.
Ella doesn't really want… but money talks and she agrees.
The recreation is on its way.
Slowly but surely, through mutual accusations that the heroines fling at each other, shines their unique love for each other, filled with odd moments of laughter and joy, moments of attraction and closeness.
But through the cracks of happiness rise also the pain, the madness and everything that took a turn for the worse.
Two women, One love, and all the past is yet to come.
