PRIME TIME MOM

"PRIME TIME MOM", courageously attempts to answer the question: What would happen if a member of parliament's son were kidnapped to Gaza during the events of October 7th? The film follows Gur (played by Evyatar Ozari), the son of Knesset Member Dafni Gut (played by Orna Banai) and a senior news editor, who is forced to choose between his career and his disintegrating family. He must conceal the fact that his brother has been kidnapped to Gaza, while his mother uses unethical means to rescue him. Meanwhile, the 24 News' CEO, Ofer (played by Shahar Hasson), begins to suspect that she is hiding something from the public. The film, which was written by Matanel Gotlib, real-life son of a Knesset Member Tally Gotlib, and a real-life news director, offers a unique perspective on family and politics as never before seen, as well as on the world of media.

Directed by Alon Newman, PRIME TIME MOM leans on a strong ensemble — Orna Banai, Shahar Hason, Eviatar Ozeri — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
