Tuesday, December 13 | 1:30 PM | $10 Hebrew with English Subtitles | Feature | Israel, 2021 | 1h 31m Screening Location: Leisure World Clubhouse II, 3300 N. Leisure World Blvd. Silver Spring, MD 20906 An ambitious young journalist, Yarden, is put to the test when her boss (who also happens to be her lover) assigns her to do a story about blind dating in hopes of chasing ratings. Even cynical young millennials believe in true love, right? Yarden’s not so sure, but proceeds on her boss’s promise to publish her first novel if she writes the piece. One More Story is the directorial debut from Israel’s beloved comedian and TV personality, Guri Alfi, and was based on Omer Barak’s bestseller, “Wedding Rush,” which received the highest price ever paid for movie rights in Israel. With a great score, the film is a fun-filled ride as we share the journey of Yarden’s complicated dating history while waiting to discover if true love is to be found. Romantic comedy, Israeli style! (Adult content: sexual situations) Official Selection: Chicago Jewish, Boston Israeli film festivals “Love has become shorter than the Tishrei holidays…But precisely because of the cloak of cynicism, and the realization that the knight on the white horse, or the cooperative scooter, will no longer come, One More Story hits the spot.” –Editor, The ObservationalQuestions?
