== Plot == Asher Yeshuron (Moshe Ivgi), a charismatic but failed businessman who lacks integrity, is trying to promote the sales of his book, "To Drive Out the Crow." His life changes when he is a guest on a TV show, after being deemed by a cult to be a spiritual leader. Inside the cult, there are betrayals, secrets, and passions. The film unfolds the story of people seen as typical Tel Avivians of the eighties and nineties.
