Enter the world of "New York 1, Tel Aviv 0," where the characters are as intelli
gent and charming as they are lonely. A couple discovers the ability to stop tim
e together; another couple lives with a constant loud beeping in their apartment
, though only one of them can hear it. A father leaves his daughter in Israel to
pursue a painting career in New York; a sex worker falls in love with the Israe
li photographer who studies her.
Together these stories explore the tension bet
ween an anonymous, globalized world and an irrepressible lust for connection--th
ey form an intimate document of niche moments between characters who are so bril
liantly, subtly, and magically rendered by Shelly Oria's capable hands.
