Director Statement

Reality has shifted to a digital, emotionally distant realm, where genuine connection feels almost non-existent. Amidst endless scrolling and robotic interactions, individuals struggle to embrace true emotion and form meaningful relationships. Through 'Kordovero 22', I aim to depict the poignant reality of modern homosexuality, particularly within Tel Aviv's scene, showcasing the challenges of connection, building genuine emotions, and the longing for authentic human connection.

Written from the heart, it presents a myriad of experiences, offering insight into the daily lives of Tel Aviv's gay community
