Hagar Ben-Asher is both director and lead actress, playing Tamar. She puts herself in frank sexual situations throughout the action, like hand-job and intercourse. Many think that in the sex scene between her and Ishai Golan (playing Shay) the penetration is not simulated, but the actor said it was only an illusion. "Did we have sex on camera? No. Our acting technique was really refined by the time we shot that scene, after so much rehearsal and repetition. We shot that scene on our final day, when our technique was at its absolute best. It was the culmination of a long process of working together, and I felt really safe," he said.
