SHORT SYNOPSIS

An ambitious real-estate agent falls in love with the remote country house she was asked to sell, and gradually begins to lead a secret, parallel life in it.
The place becomes her own private paradise, where she feels calm and free from her stressful career and from her husband, with whom she’s trying to have their first child, without success. When she meets a young Palestinian worker who is renovating the house, her boundaries and values blur even further. Is she, now, who she wanted to be?

DIRECTOR’S NOTE

“The Real Estate Agent” is a film about a woman – and about a house.
About the will to build – and to be rebuilt.
About a search for the meaning of the word “home”, which has recently become terribly relevant for our lives in Israel – and for me, personally, since I became a parent myself during these years of war. In this film, the isolated house, or the abandoned orchard, will function as characters - no less than the woman who discovers them. With its own rhythm and minimalist style, the film will stand in contrast to the pace of life in Israel’s harsh, materialistic reality.
