Synopsis
Rotem is a Sunhead, a fan of the international smash hit Sunrise series of books and films. She’s obsessed with the story’s love interest, Edmund, and no one else gets it. But all that changes when she befriends Ayala, a shy classmate and avid book lover who’s as swept away by the romance as she is. The two become fast friends, but as their deep connection grows stronger, Rotem starts to wonder: What exactly draws her to this story?

I think it’s worth noting that Sunhead is set in contemporary Israel. It does not acknowledge the apartheid in any way, nor does it depict any Muslim people either as characters or in the background.
