Zero Motivation

Zero Motivation (אפס ביחסי אנוש, 2014) is an Israeli dark comedy you can watch online on iFILM — the debut feature from writer-director Talya Lavie.

A desert military base, a human-resources office, and a unit of young female conscripts who have mentally checked out before their service even starts. Dana Ivgi, Nelly Tagar and Shani Klein play soldiers who treat every regulation as optional and every work order as a bureaucratic insult. Between Minesweeper marathons and quiet eruptions of friendship and rivalry, the film works through what loyalty actually means — to a friend, to a country, to yourself.

Lavie's debut claimed the Ophir Award and made the rounds at international festivals in 2014 as an unlikely breakout. No combat, no heroics — just the comedy of total disengagement, which turns out to be sharper than most war films. Stream Zero Motivation (2014) online on iFILM.
