Real Estate
New York Jewish Film Festival 2026
January 14 - 28
A young couple is priced out of their Tel Aviv apartment and on the hunt for an affordable new home, just as they are planning to start a family, in Anat Malz’s film about belonging, economic instability, and unsettled romance.
Set over the course of one anxious day, this comic gem, the debut feature from director-writer Anat Matlz, touches upon resonant and universal themes of belonging, economic instability, and unsettled romance. Maltz follows Tamara (Victoria Rosovsky) and Adam (Leib Lev Levin), a young couple about to become parents who are being forced to move out of their enviable Tel Aviv apartment. Their hunt for a new home in the more affordable Haifa, where Adam was raised, is the catalyst for major reckonings about their relationship, and summons a host of fears and fantasies about the path their life together is taking. Real Estate is the touching story of an unmoored generation whose financial future is more precarious than ever, yet who still cling to ideals of love, career, and family.
