Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Alin and Shani are two young Israeli women. Inside them lives a monster that threatens to burst out at any moment. It is called Tourette Syndrome -- an inherited neuropsychiatric disorder which causes involuntary physical and vocal tics --, and the two have it in its most severe and extreme form. Alin (30) lives on the edge: wild and rebellious, she loves to drink and have a good time. Shani (18) is sweet and intelligent but suffers from social isolation. The worlds of the two are entirely different: Alin comes from the slums of Haifa while Shani is a "good girl" from the Ariel suburb. Director Boaz Rosenberg followed the two young women over three crucial years, during which they grew up, experienced emotional turmoils and dealt with their problematic relationships with their homes and society. Especially prominent is their close yet complicated relationships with their mothers. A fresh and intimate look at survival in a world where one feels "abnormal" and different.
