A Touch Away takes a slice of contemporary Tel Aviv life and spins out a marvelous multi-family drama that will leave you wanting more.

Two families lives fatefully intersect in the Orthodox neighborhood of Bnei Barak in Tel Aviv. The Bermans are strict religious Haredi. Daughter Rochele (Gaya Traub) is about to enter in an arranged marriage with wealthy young bridegroom.

Sparks fly when a newly arrived, thoroughly secular family from Russia-including vivacious actress Marina (the incomparable Evgenia Dodina) and her handsome eldest son Zorik-move in a neighboring apartment.

The forbidden love soon buds between the two young neighbors, and the secrets that each family must hide, threaten the families' deeply rooted cultural assumptions and challenge individual family members' beliefs.

Cleverly scripted and well cast, never fails to entertain, but manages also to be a realistic reflection of the ongoing social challenges facing today's increasingly diverse Israeli society
