    • Synopsis

    • When a half-way home for recently released prisoners faces permanent closure – the former prisoners face a dramatic junction - will they be able to integrate back into society or will they be thrown back into their previous lives? The series centers around Anat, an idealist social worker and current manager of the group home, who deals with both the shutting down of her life's work and the reemergence of Niko, her former ward and flame.

      Exhaustively researched by co-creators Nir Bergman ("In Treatment") and Ram Nehari ("Significant Other"), "Just for Today" is a raw and authentic exploration of the lives of ex- cons, in limbo, as they try to cope with their new surroundings and leave the circle of violence and crime behind them.

      WINNER - Special Jury Prize | Series Mania
      Jury Statement: “Suspenseful, touching and full of heart, "Just for Today" is a beautifully realized portrait of newly released prisoners and the social workers assigned to help them adjust to life on the outside. Every element of this show is keenly observed and executed. It’s a wonderful window into an often unseen world."
