Tiffany and Eliette are two women on the verge of change. Lifelong friends in Paris, they meet in Tel Aviv for one week of soul-searching and spiritual awakening. Eliette has just walked out on her husband and young daughter. Tiffany is a recent divorcee hoping to reconnect with an old fling in Israel. The two thirty-somethings spend the week squatting in a dusty, abandoned apartment that becomes their makeshift hideout as they party, check out guys and avoid any responsibility. They indulge in the local nightclub scene and lounge on the beach with French expats who philosophize about Israel as a graceful and conflicted country. The two women on the lam go to the Dead Sea to float and chat—how very French! They share stories about happiness, desire, intimacy and love. As Tiffany’s romantic pursuits begin to unravel, Eliette must confront an ultimatum from her husband: come home or face divorce. Will she continue to explore her newfound freedom? Or will she return to her domesticated life and resume her responsibility as a wife and mother?

In cinema-verité style, the camera wanders from character to character as they journey through the streets of Tel Aviv attempting to find themselves. The few moments when Tiffany turns and looks straight into the camera to divulge her impressions of Israel are truly priceless. Tel Aviv By Girls is an unpretentious and mesmerizing docu-fiction hybrid that deftly conveys the spontaneity of life. At times whimsical, at times profound, this compelling film explores the complexity of modern womanhood and the fragility of human relationships.
