Director: Yair Hochner

Writer: Yair Hochner (writer)

Release Date: 6 June 2008 (Newfest New York LGBT Film Festival, USA)

Genre: Drama, Romance

Plot: In two days, Omer will hit a milestone; his 30th birthday. Like many his age, he hasn't found himself. But then Omer is hardly looking. Instead he chooses to loose himself among the stacks of books at the local library, where he works. It is a respite from real life. From time to time he goes on blind dates. He meets Danny on one of his dates. 20 years old and full of enthusiasm, Danny dreams of becoming a dancer. Shirley, Omer's little sister, has her own problems. Aside from being Omer's greatest annoyance, she is in an unconventional relationship with, Michal, owner of the city's hippest coffeehouse and her boss. Just when it seems that Omer has completely lost his spark and all seems lost, Enter Ronen, the handsome journalist who ignites the flame Omer has been seeking. Everyone is hoping for a change. They are waiting for the light. The light that will thaw their frozen hearts. But only one person has the answer, Matilda Rose, the alien loving best-selling novelist can solve the issue; Is love dead or are we just looking in all the wrong places?

Antarctica is a very surprise, it's sexy (very much, the opening scenes are a continuous of one night stands that Boaz is having and a way to present most of the following male characters in the movie), romantic, happily ever after and sad. And it's strange, the main couple Omer and Ronen, have a nice and sweet love story, and it's very satisfying, but the love story I liked most was the one between Danny and Boaz, and this is the sadder one. Nevertheless it's the one I preferred. And last, but not least, if you want to see a very good, eye candy movie, don't miss Antarctica.
