Two

Omer and Bar are madly in love with each other and want nothing more than to have a child. On their first visit to the sperm bank, they are full of hope for their future together as oarents. With their first sperm donation, the two Israeli women are overflowing with anticipation - but Omer does not get pregnant. When one sperm bank visit soon turns into five, emotions run high and the situation becomes increasingly tense. Omer in particular feels burdened, while the relationship begins to crack and their savings dwindle - artificial insemination is expensive. It would be cheaper to use Omer's ex-boyfriend Yoni. However, when the potential sperm donor appears on the scene, it is not an easy solution, but one more factor of conflict. How far will Omer and Bar go to become parents? In her remarkable directorial debut, director Astar Elkayam explores the physical and emotional challenges that two women face when they decide to start a family. Stylistically confident and full of nuance, her sensitive storytelling poses the question of whether love can really conquer everything? Mor Polanuer and Agam Schuster shine in the two leading roles and their acting performance turns TWO into an authentic drama about an unfulfilled desire to have a child, which almost has a documentary quality. The fact that it happens to be about two women is told with a refreshing casualness that allows the focus to be placed entirely on the interpersonal aspects of couple relationships.
