Jellyfish

Winner of the Camera dOr at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, Jellyfish (Meduzot) is a richly imaginative portrait of three very different women emotionally adrift in Tel Aviv. Co-directed by acclaimed Israeli author Etgar Keret (The Nimrod Flipout, The Girl On The Fridge) and his wife Shira Geffen, the film explores Israeli frames of mind in a unique fashion - remarkably apolitical and boldly atmospheric, buoyed by charming touches of magical realism.

While Batya (Sarah Adler, Godards Notre Musique), a struggling waitress, cares for a mysterious child that appeared to her out of the sea, newlywed Keren nurses a broken leg and a ruined honeymoon, and Filipino migrant worker Joy tries to support her son back home.

With striking cinematography and moving performances, Jellyfish is a witty and warm reflection on making connections and confronting destiny in a deconstructed urban landscape.
