My Friend, Yaniv

Yaniv (28) lives in Kiryat Ata, with his parents. Over the years, Yaniv witnessed best friends leave home, his little sister get married and leave home, and his copy writing colleagues work and succeed in Tel Aviv, while he himself remained at home with his parents and his caregiver. Maayan and Yaniv have been friends for over 10 years.  The film provides a glimpse into their honest companionship. Recently, Yaniv shares with Maayan his desire to leave home in order to become truly independent for the first time, even at the cost of risking his own life. Yaniv takes us on a journey full of humor, which challenges conventional thinking about what it means to be alive. The film displays life as a constant struggle between desire and determination, between body and spirit and between helplessness and optimism. Which will prevail?
