What Do You Say?

Even Ehud Barak’s 1999 election victory can’t shake Tammi’s recent depression. She dreads going to the celebratory barbeque party with husband Ronni, and her friends who will only trash her.  At the barbeque party the truth finally surfaces. The lies, that the “perfect couples” tell each other and themselves, sicken Tammi to the point where she can’t keep quiet. In an act of desperation, which is also an act of revelation – a sign of life from a woman that something in her has long been dead – she explodes and exposes the illusion that their lives are perfect, that their dreams will come true shortly, and that happiness is only a drive to Damascus away.
