Mid-life quandaries are candidly addressed with both authenticity and humor in FIVE HOURS FROM PARIS, a refreshingly sincere and mature romance that takes place in modern day Tel Aviv. Dror Keren, one of Israel's premiere acting talents, plays Yigal, a kind-hearted but painfully passive taxi driver whose deep fear of flying and intolerance for change has kept him from ever leaving Tel Aviv. When he unexpectedly falls for his son's worldly music teacher, a lovely Russian immigrant named Lina, Yigal feels compelled to take charge of his future more than ever before.
