| Summary |
Poignant, often witty and exceedingly cinematic, JELLYFISH tells the story of three very different Tel Aviv women whose intersecting stories weave an unlikely portrait of modern Israeli life. Batya, a catering waitress, takes in a child apparently abandoned at a local beach. Batya is one of the servers at the wedding reception of Keren, a bride who breaks her leg escaping a locked toilet stall, ruining her chance at a dream Caribbean honeymoon. And attending the event with an employer is Joy, a non Hebrew-speaking domestic worker who has guiltily left her son behind in her native Philippines. Winner of three prizes at the **Cannes Film Festival**. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival**. "*A little piece of cinematic poetry.*" - Steven Rea, ***The Philadelphia Inquirer*** |
