In two days, Omer will hit a milestone: his 30th birthday. Shy and studious, he’s still looking for that elusive spark with another man. He meets Danny, an enthusiastic 20-year-old aspiring dancer. Danny lives with his ex-boyfriend Ronen, a handsome journalist who befriends Omer at the library where he works. Ronen is also dating Omer’s best friend Mickey, who thinks he might be “the one.” Might Danny or Ronen be able to ignite the flame that will melt Omer’s frozen heart? Omer’s little sister Shirley wonders if her lesbian relationship with her boss Michal means settling down and giving up her long-held dream of traveling to Antarctica. A momentous birthday meal given by the siblings’ “Jewish mother from hell” (drag artist Yoam Huberman) brings matters to a head. With a collar-grabbing montage of male nudity and a subplot about alien abductions, ANTARCTICA pushes the bounds of Israeli cinema.
