  • Mindi Ehrlich

    Insignificant Insignificant Screenwriter: Mindi Ehrlich Producer: Efrat Dror , Herzliya Studios Language: Hebrew Format: Send PITCHDECK LOGLINE A legal drama television series which portrays how the ancient laws of the Halacha (the Jewish laws) constantly collide and clash with the modern Israeli everyday reality. This collusion will occur mainly through the eyes of Nechama (43), an ultra-orthodox and legal representative of women in Rabbinical courts, who feels transparent and powerless in her position. She will choose to hide behind a man, a secular lawyer, with the hope he will be able to sound her voice for her. But as things progress, Nechama will realize she is no longer willing to hide. She will get out from behind the scenes, and fight for a change. SYNOPSIS Nechama (43) is an ultra-Orthodox legal representative in the rabbinical court and a mother of nine children. She is married to Motke (45), a Torah scholar and head of a distinguished Yeshiva. Nechama belongs to a conservative community where the man is expected to study Torah, therefore the burden of providing a livelihood falls on the woman's shoulders. In order for Motke to follow this tradition, Nechama has studied to be able to represent clients in the rabbinical court and was certified as a “rabbinical litigator”, much like an attorney in civil court (She is allowed to represent clients only in the rabbinical court and not in an ordinary court). At first, the profession of rabbinical litigator (for those uncertified to practice law) was reserved only for men (yeshiva graduates). It was only in the early 90s that authorization was granted to train women as well. For the first time women were considered equal to men by the religious establishment, although they were excluded from giving testimony. Since legal representation is a masculine, extravert profession that is not mindful of the ultra-Orthodox woman whose essence centers on modesty, the profession was less adopted by the women of the ultra-Orthodox sector. But Nechama, who was determined to let her husband study Torah, decided to become a rabbinical litigator, primarily because it's what she knows best – to study and litigate. Only in recent years have a minority of ultra-Orthodox female litigators appeared in the rabbinical courts, to the dismay of the “Dayanim” (rabbinical judges) who were slowly forced to surrender to this trend. Nechama looks like a typical ultra-Orthodox woman. At the age of 18 she married the only man she ever met. Motke is water that runs deep, a conservative patriarch who rules his family and students in his quiet way. While he's busy studying Torah and heading the Yeshiva, Nechama crumbles under the burden of providing a livelihood. In the absence of a budget, she works from home. This upsets all the family members who are forced to remain in their rooms while Nechama meets clients in the living room and must maintain their privacy as well as her family's. Nechama is imprisoned in a conservative and chauvinistic world. Her chances of succeeding as a woman are close to none. But she has no alternative, this is her world and this is her family. At home, Motke is the king and Nechama isn't necessarily the queen. Being opinionated and assertive aren't sexy qualities for an ultra-Orthodox woman in a conservative community. Nechama has no choice but to supply the goods, to be a modest wife and do her husband's bidding. Deep down, Nechama knows all too well that she wasn't destined to be a homemaker; cooking and cleaning aren't her forté. She would much prefer writing statements of claims or delving into an article or innovative ruling – that is her Strength. Nechama is not the woman of valor expected of her. Though she tries her best to please her family, once she completes her boring chores, she escapes to her legal cases, and that – definitely excites her. Here she excels For all intents and purposes Nechama has the skills to become the most sought after rabbinical litigator in town. But skills are one thing, reality is another. In reality, Nechama must battle it out with chauvinistic Dayanim to whom her voice doesn’t count. This infuriates her, because it is not for lack of proficiency, but because she is a woman. Despite her vast knowledge and excellent skills, she loses cases and this frustrates her. She knows that she has what it takes to win cases but the gap between her professionalism and what happens in practice makes her great potential irrelevant. It was Nechama's extensive knowledge, sharp wit and outstanding skills in arguing and wining that first brought her to the profession. Yet she doesn’t stand a chance with these Dayanim . She is a woman who was raised from infancy to lower her eyes before men. She doesn't have the "chutzpah" or the daring required of a rabbinical litigator.

    The Subject Add a Title Add a Title Send Send Naomi Levari, Saar Yogev, Guy Hudes Producers: , Rotem Kapelinsky The Subject Lab Edition 2 2023 PITCH LOGLINE Seeking salvation, an ultra-Orthodox homosexual entrusts his fate to a contentious psychologist, becoming the centrepiece of an ethically dubious virtual reality conversion experiment. SYNOPSIS Nathan Sheinfeld, an ultra-Orthodox Jew from New York, deeply loves his family, his job, and God, but loathes himself. Seeking redemption following another clandestine homosexual encounter, he journeys to Jerusalem to find Josh Sokolovsky, a controversial therapist who once helped him with his perversion, but has since disappeared. Josh, who now utilizes innovative ""kosher"" VR sessions featuring female avatars to teach Yeshiva students about future marital intimacy, refuses to treat Nathan again. However, recognizing Nathan's profound distress, he proposes a temporary solution: Nathan can join his clinic as a female avatar, which Josh believes might offer him some solace. While Nathan finds some peace in his new role, Josh rekindles his lifelong mission to “cure” homosexuality and employs an ethically dubious conversion therapy on Nathan within the virtual realm, without his consent or knowledge. When Nathan uncovers that he has been unwittingly made a test subject, he chooses not to flee. Driven by a burning desire for ""rectification"", Nathan is even prepared to face death. WRITER'S STATEMENT ״The Subject״ occurs ״later today״ and captures my greatest fear- that we are marching toward a world where tools from the future will be used to impose values from a biblical past, and cloud the present with dystopian shades. In the sphere between man, technology, and religion, ״The Subject״ deals with redemption" as a seductive but dangerous concept, that is centered both on religious thought and secular enchantment with innovation. Nathan, the protagonist, is so determined to correct himself that he rejects a stable and loving life with Deborah his wife, and entrusts himself to Josh who offers him a religious, psychological, and technological solution, proving that under the promise of correction and redemption, these tools from such doctrines are not contradictory, but rather merge into a single and dangerous struggle. The "conversion therapy" Nathan undergoes not only raises questions about our ability to reshape a person but primarily whether we have the moral right to develop such tools. The plot unfolds through the perspectives of the three characters, capturing religious and patriarchal tension; Josh is the father, Deborah is the mother and Nathan is the torn son. Set in a fluid world where old and new, masculine and feminine, real and virtual converge, the series' visual style blends gaming and realistic drama to craft a layered aesthetic, ethical, and emotional landscape. Spanning science fiction, psychological thriller, and intimate drama, The Subject invites viewers to walk the fine line between redemption and destruction, offering a human solution that does not seek to change people or use powerful tools, but only the power of love and acceptance of people as they are.

  • Nur Fibak and Mae Palty

    Oasis Oasis Screenwriters: Nur Fibak, Mae Palty Producer: Orly Arbel , SIPUR Language: Hebrew Format: Send PITCHDECK LOGLINE When the daughter of a passionate park ranger discovers her father died in an explosion in the middle of the desert, she leaves her hectic city life and returns to her hometown to uncover the real cause of his death. SYNOPSIS Maya Shushan (35) is a talented, cool journalist who wrote an article three years ago that was so powerful it was picked up by the New York Times. However, since then, her journalistic career seemed to dry up. She is burned out, her boss threatens to fire her, and her life, in general, is not really as she planned. But then, she gets informed that her father, a passionate Park Ranger, had died in an explosion in the middle of the desert. She leaves her hectic city life and returns to her deserted hometown, even though she really doesn't want to confront her past. When she gets there, it appears that police are spouting nothing but nonsense and lies about her father’s death. She discovers that shady investors with sharp snake boots are starting to build a fancy spa hotel around the beautiful Oasis of the "Ein Devora" reserve, the iconic magical reserve her father protected his entire life. Her instincts awaken: something doesn't feel right. Maya realizes that she needs to stay there a little longer before returning to her dying career in the city. There, in the heart of the desert, alongside her post-traumatic little brother and her long-time high school sweetheart, she tries to come to terms with her mother—a religious and terrifying woman by all accounts. She will do anything to investigate the real cause of her father's death. Soon, Maya finds herself taking up her father's fight in a conflict that is as old as time, the war over one small piece of land. Humanity against nature. Disparate groups fight for control— The hotel investors, the police, the nearby military base, the religious Jewish community, the desert Bedouins, and even the Nature and Parks Authorities. Maya discovers that her sense of purpose, extinguished by city life, has been reignited. After years in Tel Aviv, she discovers that her father's death brings her back to life.

  • Nir Berger and Rani Avidan

    Urban Legends Urban Legends Screenwriters: Rani Avidan, Nir Berger Producer: Naomi Levari and Saar Yogev , Black Sheep Film Productions Language: Hebrew Format: Send PITCHDECK LOGLINE URBAN LEGENDS is a genre anthology that gives center stage to Israel’s geographical fringe. Each episode focuses on another part of the country and tells a standalone story which is also part of a more extensive mythology. Above all else, these stories will show that despite our differences – we all share common human fears. SYNOPSIS Every place in Israel has rules of its own, and each city – stories of its own. In URBAN LEGENDS, we want to give room for diversity and multicultural aspects through the prism of genre – thriller, science fiction, horror. It’s a series that introduces, for the first time, the dark, strange and fascinating side of those parts of Israel that aren’t usually seen on screen - while making use of each place’s unique features and conflicts. In the tradition of genre anthologies, from “The Twilight Zone” to “Black Mirror,” each episode will offer a new twist on reality and tell a story that deals with the real Israel of the here and now. The same twist will add a new dimension to the real-life experience while also subverting the drab realism often accompanying stories of living in the periphery. Stories that show that even in quintessential periphery cities like Rahat and Bnei Brak, you can make television that breaks the mundane everyday. For instance, in our series, a tech industry entrepreneur of Ethiopian descent who moves to live in upper-class Caesarea becomes invisible to his neighbors. A girl from the border-adjacent town of Sderot, who discovers an unexploded Qassam rocket in her backyard, will hide the rocket and make friends with it, and turn the ticking bomb into her best friend – one that would replace her friends who left town with their families. While the episodes will be standalone, they will interconnect in various ways that will reward viewing the entire season as a whole. For instance, a mysterious news report heard in one episode will be explained a few episodes later in a story about a neighboring town. This is how the series will gradually create a new shared mythology of the Israeli periphery. Each season will comprise ten episodes. Owing to the anthological structure, each episode will be directed by directors of different and diverse backgrounds, in a mix of both young promising talents and established filmmakers.; The series deals with the sidelines and seeks to put them in the center. The heroes and heroines of these stories will come from different backgrounds, giving us new exciting heroes that until now were usually portrayed as secondary characters at best – whether it’s due to their ethnicity, age, or place of living. All those characters will go through a jarring experience that will remind them how fragile their world is, how the carpet can be pulled from under their feet at any moment, and force them to reexamine their fundamental values. This kind of experience may seem all too familiar from the last two years, in which life had become a kind of horror film. We cannot prevent the fear around us, but with this series, we want to embrace it. To show that it also has power. Because in the end, the fear of the unknown, the fear of being alone, transcend cultural differences. They connect us through our shared humanity and remind us that despite our differences, which sometimes seem exceedingly insurmountable, we are all actually quite similar.

  • Hila Elena Royzenman

    The Plasticians The Plasticians Screenwriter: Hila Elena Royzenman Producer: Eitan Mansuri , Spiro Films Language: Hebrew Format: Send PITCHDECK LOGLINE An illegal plastic surgery clinic, binds the fate of a mother and daughter, who are dragged into running the business from their crumbling living room. As they rise as successful business-women, their harsh reality creeps back in, facing them with the realisation that their empowerment is a mere façade. SYNOPSIS An ambitious secretary, an immigrant from the USSR, wants to become a successful life coach. Unfortunately, she can't get out from under the burden of the symbiotic relationship with her mother, a surgeon from Moscow who has become a taxi driver since immigrating to Israel. In order to finally leave the house and jumpstart her career, she has to find a way for her mom to function without her. She decides to set up a makeshift surgical clinic at home, so her mother can regain the dignity and sense of purpose she lost. While she waits for the medical license to be approved, the underground clinic begins to grow. The daughter is tempted to give up on her own dreams and live forever alongside this happier and stronger version of her mother, the mother she always wanted. The two form a surprising camaraderie through their complicity in crime, and drag each other deeper into the underworld. WRITER'S STATEMENT I was born in St. Petersburg and grew up in an immigrant home in Israel, alongside two educated parents who managed to always take care of the family's financial security, but never found professional fulfilment. I am a daily witness to the dissonance between the successful professionals my parents once were, and the life of survival and compromise brought forth by immigration. The trauma of immigration naturally passed onto the next generation. The parent-child relationship was turned on its head, and the children often functioned as the responsible adults in the family. As someone who grew up this way, I have always had an impossible dream: to restore my parent’s dignity and see them strong and full of confidence. However, my parents and their friends chose to embrace life and live it to the fullest. They write plays for birthdays, record songs for each other, dance, drink and soothe their pain with a passion for life and love, trying above all else to forget the instability and uncertainty of life. The massive addiction to plastic surgery is in fact an attempt at controlling the uncontrollable, a human desire to look good, or simply be seen. In the unique clinic which our series creates, both the immigrant staff and their clients, are driven by the same human nature to survive. Plastic surgery has become even more popular and accessible in recent years. Still, it is a medical procedure, surgery, positioning the patients seeking treatment as 'ill,' not good-looking or young enough; consequently, the notion of 'healing' through a plastic surgery is very limited. In many cases, dealing with eternal appearance is caused by psychological problems that are neglected and even exacerbated. In this series, I hope to present the other side of the beauty industry's enticing brochures, and focusing on the mental motivations for seeking an external solution. ABOUT THE WRITER PRODUCER'S STATEMENT In 1990, the dissolution of the Soviet Union sparked a significant wave of Russian immigration worldwide. Among these migrations, the influx of Jewish Russians to Israel stands as the nation's largest ever witnessed, with one million individuals making the journey. While many managed to integrate successfully, others faced challenges. "The Plasticians" delves into the narratives of those who struggled to integrate fully into society but nonetheless, never gave up on their joy of life, their culture and definitely not on their dreams. This series raises relevant, global questions about immigration, belonging, and the coexistence of cultures within a nation. It offers a fresh perspective on Russian immigrants who abandoned their previous lives, professions, and sometimes families in pursuit of a new home. Hila Royzenman introduced the project at the Series Mania writer's campus 2022, showcasing her promise as a young director with a distinct voice and deep understanding of these characters' worlds. The series is multilingual, featuring dialogue in Hebrew, Russian, and English, indicating its potential to transcend borders.
