Sublet: A Tale of Unexpected Bonds

Michael’s Arrival in Tel Aviv

On his first day in Tel Aviv, Michael arrives at the apartment he is to sublet only to find it still inhabited by Tomer, who had mixed up the date Michael was to arrive. Learning that Tomer’s bike was stolen and he has nowhere else in the city to stay, Michael offers for Tomer to stay in the apartment with him in exchange for showing him around the city.

Unexpected Revelations and Discussions

After a short, somewhat strained video call with his husband, David, Michael goes to sleep. On his second day while visiting the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Michael receives a call from an IVF clinic and learns that David has moved forward with plans to have a child via a surrogate mother without Michael’s knowledge. Over lunch, Michael and Tomer discuss Michael’s debut book, Complications, in which he writes about his life in New York City during the AIDS crisis, documenting the death of his then-boyfriend from the disease.

Realizations and Connections

Michael also meets Tomer’s friend Daria, who tells Michael she is frustrated with her life as an artist in Israel and plans to move to Berlin with her boyfriend, hoping for an easier time. On the third day Michael and Tomer meet at Frishman Beach. They run into Guy, an informal sexual and romantic partner of Tomer’s. That night, David apologizes to Michael for going behind his back but expresses excitement at the surrogacy process moving forward.

Unexpected Bonds and Departure

That evening, Tomer browses Atraf for potential casual sex partners. Michael expresses interest in one profile, and Tomer asks if he should invite the man over. On the morning of the fourth day, Tomer wakes to find Michael boarding a taxi to leave. Tomer stops him and convinces him to stay, inviting Michael to dinner with his mother on the Kibbutz that she lives on.

Final Moments and Reflections

That night, as Michael is packing to leave, he organizes Tomer’s chaotic wardrobe for him. They sit to match Tomer’s socks with each other, and using the two unmatched socks as sock puppets, they mime the two dissimilar socks – one a traditional business sock and one a black sock decorated with white stars, deciding to pair up with each other. The next morning the two share a meal in the airport before Michael leaves. On the flight home, Michael leaves a voice message for David, suggesting they have dinner at a park that they used to go to when they were younger. The film closes as Tomer recovers his stolen bike and rides through the city.
