Attending boarding school, life finally takes a turn when she meets a dashing young West Point cadet named Shep Williams.

Co-producer, Carole Scotta ; editor, Arik Lahav-Leibovich ; director of photography, Yaron Scharf ; original score, Ran Bagno.Dana Ivgy, Nelly Tagar, Shani Klein.Zero Motivation is a unique, sharply observed, sometimes dark and often hilarious portrait of everyday life for a unit of young, female soldiers in a remote Israeli desert outpost. Playing out like M*A*S*H meets Orange is the New Black, Talya Lavie's debut details the power struggles of three women with different agendas and very little to do. Pencil-pushers in the Human Resources Office, best friends Zohar (Dana Ivgy) and Daffi (Nelly Tagar) spend their time playing video games, singing pop songs, jousting with stationery and dreaming of Tel Aviv. The indolent twosome are watched over by their aspiring senior officer, Rama (Shani Klein), who dreams of a higher position and a significant military career, but with a platoon of unskilled, idle, female soldiers without any drive under her charge, her ambitions for promotion are constantly thwarted.PG.DVD ; widescreen presentation ; Dolby Digital 5.1 and stereo.- Subjects: Comedy films.; Feature films.; Female friendship; Foreign films; Motion pictures, Israeli.; Women soldiers;
