- DirectorUri ZoharStarsUri ZoharAvraham HeffnerArik LavieA new immigrant, Tzelnik, arrives at the port of Jaffa. He goes to live in the Negev desert where he opens a kiosk in the middle of nowhere. Mizrachi comes along and opens a competing business across the way. The two make a living by selling to each other. As there is nothing there, they decide to create a world out of their imagination. They build a cardboard film set, which slowly takes on real dimensions- the buildings turn to concrete, people come to audition for parts in the "film" (cinema 'verite' style, with Zohar mocking viciously the pretensions of the "actresses") and builders come to void apartment buildings (mocking the glorification of concrete and "heroic" settlement). In one sequence, Arab actors come and ask the filmmakers turn positive to negative, and they're given the role of pioneers who plow the land and sing Zionist songs. The imagined world of the filmmakers becomes so real eventually they lose sight of the thin line between fantasy and reality.

- DirectorAssi DayanStarsGavri BanaiShlomo Bar-ShavitShmil Ben AriDoctor Yoel Pomerantz is a washed-up, self-loathing psychologist who lives on the 12th floor of a high-rise with his Aspberger's son, Yoav, who spends his days pretending to be a traffic cop and proudly giving out parking tickets. Dr. Pomerantz sees a few patients a week, barely enough to keep he and Yoav in ramen noodles and with a roof over their heads. In addition, he works shifts at a suicide hotline. When he gets desperate financially, he recruits hotline callers to see him privately, which is discovered and results in his getting unceremoniously fired. (Meanwhile Yoav is getting a blow job from a would-be parking offender, Bracha Nachmias.) Except that the former hotline callers keep coming, and begin offering Pomerantz cash to jump from his balcony to their deaths. One such jumper is followed by her niece, who comes looking for her aunt moments after Pomerantz decides himself to jump, as he realizes he has hit bottom with his new "business". Meanwhile Yoav has come home from "work" and ends up preventing the niece from jumping onto her aunt, then comforting her on the loss of her aunt, and finally telling her he loves her and will look after her.
