If you didn't think Israeli cinema could get any more controversial than box-office hit The Bubble, then think again. Yair Hochner's Antarctica leaves no taboo unturned in this latest tale of twilight bed-hopping from Tel Aviv.

Good-looking librarian Omer is eternally searching for the perfect match, but keeps getting tangled up in a series of meaningless one-night stands. When fetching journalist Ronen enters the scene, matters are complicated further as the men become embroiled in innumerable bouts of passionate encounters behind each other's backs. Soon enough, they must face one another and make a decision: is true love worth looking for, or can you really live happily ever after?
