It was released in a limited release on June 11, 2021, prior to video on demand on July 9, 2021, by Greenwich Entertainment. The film follows the character of Michael (John Benjamin Hickey), a gay middle-aged travel writer for the New York Times who travels to Tel Aviv for five days for his column. The film is separated into five chapters, one for each day. Michael sublets an apartment from Tomer (Niv Nissim), a younger film student and gay man looking for some extra money.
