Nitz (played to slacker perfection by Gal Toren) returns to Israel from Australia hoping to reunite with his girlfriend, Kesem, and their dog Zorba. When Kesem (the wonderful Sarah Adler) refuses, Nitz installs himself in an empty lot across from her apartment, just as real estate sharks are planning to pave it over for parking.
