Director Statement

Reality has shifted to a digital, emotionally distant realm, where genuine connections are scarce. Amid endless scrolling and robotic interactions, people struggle to embrace true emotions and form meaningful relationships. "Kordovero 22" portrays the poignant reality of modern homosexuality in Tel Aviv, highlighting the challenges of connection and the longing for authentic human bonds. The film captures a twenty-minute encounter between two men, revealing the rapid cycle of emotions from initial connection to eventual emptiness. Written from the heart, it offers a glimpse into the daily lives of Tel Aviv's gay community.
