The Department of Special Objects

The Department of Special Objects
A comic children’s series documenting one of the most highly confidential places of employment in Israel – the department of special objects, an archive where all the great and important historical objects of the state are kept. A new historical object arrives at the department in each episode, which the department employees have to prepare for exhibition. The department staff is made up of an ensemble of characters, all with a wide giving heart, but all lacking in terms of clarity and logic.
A comic narrative stands at the center of each episode, and the series in effect presents a fun and original way to learn about many central aspects of Israeli history.

Milk & Honey

Milk & Honey
Milk & Honey tells the story of four childhood friends from a small village in the Galilee who stumble upon an original business idea which will make the most of their various abilities – they open an escort service exclusively for women, the first of its kind in the country. The service becomes a surprising success around the Galilee, while the four friends struggle with their new and challenging identities as gigolos.
Every episode advances three or four plotlines, following the adventures of the four friends, the women they meet in their personal lives as well as their professional/sexual encounters – and the fine line separating the two. By turning the spotlight on the bedroom, the show sharply exposes the power play and tension between genders, classes and different sectors in Israeli society. The men in the show see selling their bodies as a tempting and lucrative business opportunity, but paradoxically, it’s their dubious business that forms a bond of solidarity between them.
