The Attaché

Avshalom, an Israeli Jewish man of Moroccan descent, is a successful musician who relocates to Paris for his wife Annabelle’s new job as the Attaché to the Israeli embassy in Paris. There, he has a marital crisis in the eternal capital of romance, a personal immigration crisis in the heart of Europe, and a crisis of masculinity and fatherhood. He’s in the middle of so many crises, that he hardly realizes he’s reached the milestone age of forty. Avshalom goes from living close to the sun, sea and his friends in Tel Aviv, to being an anonymous immigrant in a foreign land. As if all this weren’t enough, their arrival in Paris falls on the same days as the largest terror attack in French history. It seems to Avshalom that Paris itself, or maybe all of Europe, is experiencing a transition along with him.
