With nuclear attack on Israel looming, a hardened Mossad spy falls in love with her agent – the wife of an Iranian nuclear physicist.

Elizabeth, can I ask why you mashed the two loglines together? I did say the second version was another try at the logline. It’s not an addendum to the original.

I appreciate your interest, both of you, but I’m scratching my head to understand where any of this is helping me. I may bow out of the whole thing, with respect.

Thanks for the feedback, Karel. I find log-lines terribly difficult, perhaps more difficult than writing the script.

As a quibble, “nuclear attack” doesn’t necessarily require the “a”. “Israel faces nuclear attack” works perfectly well as a stand-alone sentence, as does “Israel faces a nuclear attack”. But while I’d suggest the error isn’t grammatical, I agree, in this case the “a” definitely helps clarify the sentence, so I’ll happily and gratefully (and, I hope, with grace) take that note.

Also, I’d explain the whole agent thing, but if I have to do that the log-line has clearly failed. So I won’t.

May I try again?
