Ophir Award Nominee DOUBTFUL will Make U.S. Premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival this June

Ophir Award nominated film Doubtful will make its U.S. premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival this June.

Synopsis: Assi, a screenwriter and poet from Tel-Aviv, stuck in his personal life, is full of DOUBT and existential restlessness. He is sentenced to community service due to a drunken-driving accident; to work with juveniles in Beersheba, who are obliged to sessions with him as a condition for their parole. Upon arriving, he encounters a wall of resistance-culture gaps with the young people he's forced to work with. The teenagers are only interested in passing the time-their riotous personalities and charm awaken in him a curiosity. A special connection develops with Eden, who lives with his mother, charismatic in his crazy way. At night, Eden collects bottles for recycling in order to fulfill a dream. Assi is swept up and together, they break through the boundaries of the rehabilitative framework.
