Joy can't let go of her ex, can't fall in love with the new guy, and can’t stop sleeping around with strangers. This is a story about young people in Tel Aviv who yearn for intimacy and are also terrified by it; who talk endlessly but never say anything authentic.
People That Are Not Me, Hadas Ben Aroya’s first feature film, is a Tel Aviv-set romantic dramedy that premiered at the 2016 Locarno Festival. Ben Aroya self-produced the film and plays its lead.
