Yeruham Off Season
![](https://nfct.org.il/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/08/ירוחם-אוף-סיזן-604x340.jpg)
Mili, “damsel in distress”, moves between lonely scenes in the snow-covered forests of Finland and the tough male-dominated Wild West of Israel. On her road trip to Yeruham, a small town in the Negev desert, she meets cowboys, herdsmen, hunters and a sheriff, all of them more pestering than charming. Armed with a Colt and a camera, this shy, sugar-sweet Calamity Jane succeeds both in softening men’s hearts and gaining their respect. A young woman on a quest, torn between the desire for closeness and distance. A provocative portrait of tough guys and unerring pleasure seekers that brings a smile to the face.
