Merav (Shiri Gadni) has been trying to get pregnant for seven years, but at the moment when it finally looks like the artificial insemination bore fruit, she is told that it is a false pregnancy. She is also informed that, according to her medical records, she can not conceive at all. Despite of severe health risks, Merav refuses to take a pill that would end the symptoms and she continues behaving like a pregnant woman. Her belly can ( and does) fool everyone, even her husband Yiftah (Tom Hagi), and the only one who knows the truth and tries to talk sense into Merav is her mother (Idit Teperson).

The paperwork says it all, sheet after sheet documenting the years of failed attempts by Marev (Shiri Gadni) and Amir (Tom Hagi) to have a child via IVF, including the latest. Marev's mother (Idit Teperson) is there for her daughter but she is virtually inconsolable as Amir goes away on business. A month later, however, Marev starts being sick. Thinking the doctors must be wrong, she returns to the doctor.
Instead of having the child she craves, Marev is instead told that she is experiencing a false pregnancy, but with it offering her all the sensation of actually carrying a baby, she finds it hard to give up. Idan Hubel holds the emotional fragility of motherhood up to the light - not just the longing to be one experienced by Marev but the desire of her own mother to help her daughter get through this. The director underlines this a little.

Jake Paltrow directs and co-writes June Zero, an unusual account of the death of Adolf Eichmann that’s screening at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.
Opening immediately after the verdict of his trial, it shows the impact of the Holocaust criminal’s 1962 execution on three very different characters: a boy, a prison guard and a police investigative officer. Shot on super-16mm in Israel and Ukraine, it’s Paltrow’s first foreign-language production after features including The Good Night and Young Ones.
The decision to use the Hebrew language was fueled by Paltrow’s co-writer Tom Shoval, and it gives the film an authentic flavor. The choice to open it with an adolescent boy, David, adds a sense of nostalgia and warmth that might seem surprising given the subject matter.
Newcomer Noam Ovadia puts in a charming performance as the lively young Libyan who gains work at an oven factory in Israel,...
