About the film
Ducks, An Urban Legend is a bold Israeli dark comedy that follows five unforgettable characters navigating life on the “wrong” side of Tel Aviv. Yossi desperately tries to hold his relationship and wedding dreams together; Asaf and his partner Anna resort to absurd measures to unlock his grandfather’s pension; and Elias, a lonely Palestinian awaiting a heart transplant, is forced into cooperation with the Israeli security services. As their lives collide in tales of love, loss, survival and grace, the film blends sharp humor with poignant humanity, offering a quirky yet deeply moving portrait of resilience and redemption in the urban landscape. Winner of Best Script at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, this ensemble piece showcases standout performances from Roi Miller, Diana Abramov, Erez Drigues, Rinat Matatov and Sarel Piterman,
bringing heart and wit to every story thread
