"Posioned" has all the ingredients that render the creation of first cinematic fruits a refreshing and surprising experience: Intimacy; honesty, ambition, and a tendency for adventure. The script is convincing in navigating its heroes towards areas of the absurd via an exact depiction of well portrayed character parodies which touch the heart; the cinematography and the editing conjoin in order to pinpoint them in an isolated world, by blurring the boundaries between imagination and reality. In the DiplomaFilm Festival which took place last winter, "Poisoned" won all the important prizes in it's category; Cinematography, Editing, Best Actress (Idit Rash) and Soundtrack.
