Girls Like Us
Synopsis
Shahar lives in a tough neighborhood with her dysfunctional family. Her divorced father is in a mental institution, and her alcoholic mother dreams of remarriage. Shahar essentially raises her younger sister alone. Expelled from regular school, she now studies at “Gila’s House,” an alternative school for at-risk girls. When a new counselor arrives as an unconventional and enigmatic guide, their intense relationship, marked by attraction and repulsion, pushes them both to the edge.
