Bringing back an EROS classic (originally screed at the 9th EROS Film Festival)!
From the director of YOSSI & JAGGER and WALK ON WATER, this film focuses on forbidden love within the Israeli/Palestinian conflict… an environment that has changed very little in the nine years since the film was made.
Three young Israelis, two guys and a girl, share an apartment in Tel Aviv`s hippest neighborhood: headstrong Lulu, who works in a bath products boutique; flamboyant Yali, who manages a trendy café; and brooding music store clerk Noam, who spends his weekends serving at checkpoints in the National Guard. When Noam meets and falls in love with a Palestinian man named Ashraf, he and his friends conspire to help Ashraf stay on in Tel Aviv illegally. They participate in a beach rally, celebrating a peaceful coexistence, and calling for an end to the occupation of Palestinian territories. But ultimately, their carefully constructed utopia is shattered by the political and social realities of the Middle East, and the constant outbursts of violence. View trailer
