"Boaz" (Yoav Reuveni) is the deliciously hunky boyfriend of "Noa" (Moran Rosenblatt) living an apparently happy life together. Not long into this rather pedestrian drama, though, we discover that he has a bit of PTSD from his time doing National Service in his native Israel, and that during that time he also had a bit of bi-curiosity. Back to current day, it seems that "Boaz" is having to wrestle more and more with his increasingly encroaching desires for men... What is fuelling this change? Well he is awaiting an important letter from university so is regularly checking his PO box. Contained within, though, are a series of love letters from an unknown male suitor who in the most benign and gentle of fashions commences to wreak havoc with this young man's relationship. For the most part this just muddles along, but there is one scene of sexual violence (towards his girlfriend) that I though not just unnecessary to the plot development, but it also rendered much of the ostensibly potent conclusion to the film seriously implausible. Indeed, by the end I found myself thinking that his attractiveness was entirely skin deep! There isn't really much dialogue to speak of, and the time-shifted narrative is all just a bit weak and feeble. The title doesn't do it much favours really, either and were it not for the fact that he an handsome fella to watch on screen - there are plenty of shower and sex scenes - I am not sure I would have bothered seeing it through.
