SMART program : Manu and Dougie (11:25)

North of Tel Aviv, summer time, Manu and Dougie ride their bicycle with no special plans. They arrive at an observation point from which they see their neighbourhood. The landscape attracts them; one of the last nature spots between the city and the sea, empty wilderness soon to become a construction site where fancy condominiums will loom large.

The kids decide to spend the afternoon in this area, which is also Tel Aviv’s busiest night time prostitution district. But during the day the place is deserted. Without knowledge of its real function, the children let the landscape affect their actions.
