I Hate My Friends
In the small and historic town of Mazkeret Batya, Ron Glaser (Tuval Shafir) and Tal Dreifuss (Leah Lev), two rebellious and sarcastic teenagers, dream of escaping their stifling, monotonous reality through their rock band, “Kill the Hipster” – their ticket to changing the world. But when their bandmate, the disloyal Tomer Weinstein, unexpectedly quits, the two embark on a surprising journey that challenges their intense friendship and forces them to confront their fears and ambitions.
“I Hate My Friends” is a bittersweet coming-of-age comedy that blends the dark humor of Israeli adolescence with the charm and spirit of American indie cinema.
