Moshe Rosenthal's cinematic creation, “Tell Me Everything,” continues to earn widespread recognition, building on its impressive achievement of securing 10 Ophir Awards, a testament to its excellence in categories such as best picture, direction, and screenplay from a remarkable 16 nominations.

This critically acclaimed Israeli entry for the international feature Oscar has successfully forged a series of international distribution agreements. These include partnerships in France with Maverick, in Australia and New Zealand through Moving Story, and in Indonesia via PT Falcon. Additionally, HBO CEE has acquired digital streaming rights for the film across Central and Eastern Europe. The poignant drama explores the complex relationship between a father and son, set against the vibrant pop culture landscape of the late 1980s and the profound impact of the burgeoning HIV crisis. The narrative centers on 12-year-old Boaz, who uncovers a life-altering secret concerning his idolized father, a revelation that threatens to fracture their family and leaves a lasting scar as he strives to mend their bond in adulthood. The film features compelling performances by newcomer Yair Mazor, Ido Tako, and, in a rare dramatic turn, renowned Israeli comedy star Assi Cohen as Boaz's father, with Keren Tzur portraying his mother, alongside Mor Dimri and Neta Orbach.

“Tell Me Everything” marks Rosenthal's second feature film, following his successful debut with “Karaoke,” which premiered at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival and received 14 Ophir nominations, including best film and best director. The film's producers include Alona Refua, Maya Fischer, Roi Kurland, and Gal Greenspan from Green Productions; Ben Giladi of Liminal Content; and Moshe Edery and Leon Edery from United King Films. Émilie Georges and Naima Abed of Paradise City, known for their work on “Call Me by Your Name,” “Drift,” and “Atropia,” serve as co-producers, with an executive production team comprising Jonathan Margolis, Isaac Zablocki, Fred Toczek, Sharon Chazin Lieblein, and Limor Gott Ronen.

The success of “Tell Me Everything” not only highlights the artistic vision and storytelling prowess of its creators but also underscores the universal resonance of its themes. The film's international distribution and critical acclaim signal its potential to deeply connect with diverse audiences worldwide, fostering empathy and understanding through its powerful narrative of family, discovery, and enduring human connection.
