It's hard to find a good date in Tel Aviv. Nevertheless, Taliya is online, looking. She goes on (really) bad dates, draws unflattering self-portraits, and argues with her gay roommate Oded about whether she's dieting. Then it's back online. DocFest '08 director Finkel ("Over My Dad's Body") crafts a perfect blend of the tragic and comic in her search, not just for real love, but an acceptance of her own image and identity in a .jpeg world.
