Addicted to Black

This film is a quest for the quintessential cup of Israeli coffee. It’s a  random, open-ended journey, which takes the crew to various places,  events and people, providing a short escape from all the tension over a  steaming cup of coffee. Gradually that longed-for drink becomes just an  image, the local stories and characters – the main issue. The crew  slowly uncovers Israeli society frothing and bubbling, seething with  tension and opposing interests, with the very ground boiling beneath  their feet, and really longing for the sweet taste of reconciliation.
