Building a framework for life! 17-year-old Asher from Israel is a typical problem student who is short-tempered and has great difficulty concentrating. His father has a scaffolding company and is doing everything he can to ensure that Asher can soon become his successor. Educational content just gets in the way! However, a dedicated teacher (Ami SMOLARTCHIK) manages to get Asher interested in literature and history. By studying ancient dramas and Chekhov's stories, Asher increasingly begins to ask himself and those closest to him questions. But then something unexpected happens...
Israeli director Matan YAIR took an unusual approach to his film. The actor Asher LAX essentially plays himself as the 17-year-old he once was. At the time of filming he was already visibly older than he was back then, which initially took a bit of getting used to, but the concept works. Little by little, the audience discovers the reasons for the protagonist's impetuous behavior in this quasi-documentary drama. It is so worth seeing and enlightening that the film was invited to one of the side rows at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017.
