About Me

SYNOPSIS:
Three young Israelis, two guys and a girl, share an apartment in Tel Aviv’s hippest neighborhood. Trying to put aside political conflicts and focusing on their lives and loves, these progressive 20-somethings are often accused of living in an escapist “bubble”. Among them are three young Israeli flatmates: 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 young Palestinian man named Ashraf, the young Israelis decide to help Ashraf stay on in Tel Aviv illegally. They dress him in modern Isralei garb, give him a Hebrew name and put him to work in Yali's café. They all decide to celebrate their peaceful coexistence at a beach party calling for an end to the occupation of Palestinian territories. But in the end, the young people's utopia is shattered by the political and social realities of the Middle East and the constant outbursts of violence.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

EYTAN FOX (Director – Writer) Eytan Fox’s 2004 WALK ON WATER has become the most successful Israeli film abroad. The story of a Mossad secret service agent who befriends the gay grandson of an ex-Nazi officer was released successfully in over 25 countries. Previously, 2002’s YOSSI & JAGGER, the love affair between two officers in the Israeli army, became an international breakout hit. WALK ON WATER and YOSSI & JAGGER have achieved cult status on DVD.Born in New York City, at an early age Fox moved with his family to Israel. He grew up in Jerusalem, then studied at Tel Aviv University School of Film and Television. His first film, TIME OFF, a 45-minute drama about sexual identity in the Israeli army, won him acclaim and led to the making of his first feature, SONG OF THE SIREN, a romantic comedy which became Israel’s biggest box office success in 1994.Between 1997 and 2000, Fox created and directed the Israeli TV dramatic series FLORENTINE, which examined the life of young people in Tel Aviv before and after the Rabin assassination.
