Real Men

Synopsis

In recent years the Israeli male has undergone a plethora of dramatic changes. From the image of the tough "Sabra" came the handsome young man. New role models emerged: the "Nouveau Rebel," the modern-traditional men's magazine type man and the metrosexual.

The series maps out these changes. Reshef Levy takes us on a six-episode journey to explore the question: "Who is the Israeli man?" Has a new man emerged and is the change indeed profound and real, or perhaps we are not so far, after all, from the coarse military general type?

Reshef meets young men and old men, men who have been married for 73 years alongside men who cannot function in a relationship, rich men, unemployed men, gamblers, criminals, lone farmers, pubescent youths and submissive sex slaves. Each represents to the viewer worlds apart, albeit all very genuine.
