FilmORACLE captures the emotionally complicated relationship between a young Israeli and his Cambodian girlfriend. He earns his living reading cards on the nighttime streets of Phnom Penh, while she succumbs to alcohol.

Within the protagonists’ everyday existence of love and fighting, the film shows their solitude and their doubts, as well as the difficulty of choosing between cultures.
