A special screening to mark the 20th anniversary hosted by filmmaker Tom Shoval (“Youth”, “Letter to David”, “Echo of Your Voice”, “Life Without Credit” and more…)

17-year-old Meni wears only the most fashionable clothes, is interested in music, loves the cinema and works as a rent boy. He had a baby from Mika, a young drug addict prostitute. He has an adoptive mother who is also a trans-gender prostitute and clients that contacts him on his cell-phone.

One night he meets Tal, also a hustler, and they decide to spend the night together. During that night, their lives gain a new meaning, but can the little hope change the life they are used to from an early age?

In the morning they decide to meet later at the club. Until the awaited meeting, both of them will have to deal with their weary routine of clients, marginalized people and unexpected events.

From the jury’s reasoning at the Eilat Film Festival 2026 for choosing it as the best Israeli film: “…We found in the film “Good Boys” a cinematic story that is difficult to digest, but touches on the courage of a world whose existence we usually prefer to ignore. The film grabs you, hits you, and leaves you asking questions, searching for answers, and hurting. Another important point is the human side of the characters living in poverty – and often maintaining a human image, and for this, by unanimous decision, we found “Good Boys” worthy of the award.”
