Ha'Kha'ver Ha'Sha'men Shelli

This is a modern Israeli movie, some of the women are quite tattooed. It is in Hebrew with English subtitles. The two main characters meet in the army on a field task that they have to co-operate on, he hesitatingly suggests the possibility of a date, she says no. They meet again in Tel Aviv from time to time over the next few years. She is an apparently successful young hi-tech worker, he is an idle overweight layabout. She turns down his offers of a date a couple of times, but she clearly has a fondness for him, but she has avoided emotional closeness, though we don't know why. She is very attractive, has no shortage of short term sexual partners, he has very little. It is a romantic comedy with an underlying serious tone about avoidance, so the ending is predictable, the fun is getting there, and each having to overcome a very big personal stumbling block. It is modern day secular Tel Aviv with its bars and night life, there is nothing particularly Jewish in it, the acting is very good, she is wonderful as the beautiful 'cold fish', he excellent as the angry self-defeating apparently funny but really deeply sad loser who tries to attack her character of avoidance which leads her to confront him with his immaturity, and how they both have to radically change if they want to improve.
