An Israeli girl uses her psychic powers to help classmates cheat on tests, but she will lose them if she falls in love. A really odd little coming of age movie, tinged with magical realism, absurdism, and Israeli cultural preoccupations; it's set in its own little universe, so it's hard to know what to make of this one.

The mixture of pre-teen fun/coming of age and post-apocalytic, post-modern depression is delightfully surreal. The characters are genuine and the plot actually interesting! Find it. It's more than worth seeing.

A psychic girl, with her strange powers, leaves a town on the brink of anarchy, .The only way she can lose her powers is by falling in love. A group of unruly guys in the class fall for her, and will stop at nothing to secure her love.finally she does fall in love with one of them... The last prediction comes in the form of a major earthquake.The whole town is evacuated, except these two, who are at the movies alone, cuz yknw what they say about love... The whole town has a post apocalyptic look, with a lot of absurd things happening, which somehow seem consistent.
