In April 2022, it won the prize for Best Series at Cannes International Series Festival in 2022.[2] The show was also named Best Drama Series at the Israeli Television Academy Awards in 2023.
The show follows Amir, a high school civics teacher, and Lian, a 17-year-old student in his class as a debate over harassment at the local swimming pool gets out of control and the consequences spill far beyond the classroom.
The story was inspired by the true story of a teacher in Israel who was fired after a student criticized him on social media for sharing political opinions in the classroom.[3]
At the 2022 Canneseries, the show won two prizes: Best Series, and Best Performance (for actress Maya Landsman)[2]
At the Israeli Television Academy Awards in 2023, the show was nominated for 10 awards, winning 3: Best Drama Series, Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series (Maya Landsman), and Best Screenplay.[4]
