Paris, April 5, 2022
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Federation has acquired the world distribution rights to THE LESSON (6 X 40′), a drama series produced by Jasmine TV (Yochanan Kredo and Linor Lavi), for the Israeli public broadcast channel Kan 11.
The series is part of the competition at CannesSeries 2022, where it premiered on April the 2nd 2022. The first-two episodes received exceptional praise during their screening at the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière. Actors and filmmakers shared a moving moment with the audience, under a row of applause.
Directed by Eitan Zur and written by Deakla Keydar, the series focus on the consequences of a political discussion between Amir, a 43-year-old teacher and Lian, a 17-year-old student. As the student confronts her teacher, the lesson turns into an emotional conflict that bursts far out of the classroom.
In a fight over justice, both Amir and Lian will not give in, even when things spin out of control and take a devasting tool that will change their lives forever, as the series highlights the complex political reality Israel is facing today. As the fight escalates, the series dives deep under the surface to unveil the bleeding wounds in the hearts of both protagonists.
The six-part drama is headlined by Israeli actors Doron Ben-David and Maya Landsmann. Leib Lev Levin, Alma Zak and Dvir Benedek also appear in this highly anticipated series.
