| A Touch Away |
If you thought smartly written and superbly acted television dramas were the provenance of the British, think again.
A Touch Away takes a slice of contemporary Tel Aviv life and spins a marvellous multi-family drama that will have you glued to your seats.
This wonderful series, produced for prime time television in Israel, broke ratings records when broadcast there. In this special presentation, the Festival is thrilled to bring you the Australian premiere of all eight episodes, screening in two parts over one afternoon/evening.
The series focuses on two families whose lives intersect in an apartment complex in the Orthodox neighbourhood of Bnei Barak near Tel Aviv. Grounded in rich and nuanced detail,
A Touch Away never fails to entertain, as it effortlessly draws us into the world of each family without judgement or condescension, even when events challenge deeply rooted cultural assumptions and individual family members' beliefs.
