A young Israeli artist emigrates to Germany and follows in the footsteps of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, a great director of German cinema, known for his power excesses and love frenzy. The latter finally introduces him to the best, most insidious and most effective instrument of social oppression, love, and reveals a secret to him: today's intimacy is tomorrow's romance. Today's romance is yesterday's intimacy. We know what intimacy means, but how can it be created? In the form of a play development, the attempt begins to approach one's own biographies, the boundary between private and public, and the big question of what it means to have a relationship in times of radicalization and fear of the foreign.
