Three lost people seek redemption as Tel Aviv is torn asunder by violence and supernatural chaos in this documentary-style Lovecraftian thriller.
Through a city torn apart by violence they cannot comprehend, three disparate individuals—a documentary film-maker, a yeshiva student, and a psychotic fireman—struggle to survive and to understand the ever-shifting dangers around them. But in their search for meaning, they must risk being lost themselves.
As Tel Aviv is consumed, a strange mountain rises at the heart of the city. It shows the outline of what may be another, alien world beyond. Perhaps redemption can be found there. Perhaps the fevered rumors of a coming messiah are true . . .
A potent mixture of biblical allusions, Lovecraftian echoes, contemporary culture, and surprising humor, The Tel AvivDossier is part supernatural thriller and part meditation on faith.
