On the Side
Friday afternoon. Ella and Yaeli, best friends for years, return drunk and happily from the beach. On their way home, a Police-Officer stops the two on the side of the road to check whether Ella drives drunk. When Ella does not pass the test, the girls have to decide whether to obey the law rather than remain loyal to one another.
