FILM SYNOPSIS

Winner of numerous international awards, Eytan Fox's The Bubble follows the story of three young Israelis who share an apartment on Sheinkin Street in the heart of Tel Aviv's coolest neighborhood. Noam (Ohad Knoller) sells CDs at a famous alternative music store, while Lulu (Danialla Wircer) works at a soap store and Yali (Alon Friedman) runs the street's hip cafe. The story begins when Noam meets Ashraf (Yousef “Joe” Sweid), a Palestinian he encounters while on reserve duty at a checkpoint in the West Bank. Later, Ashraf arrives at Noam's door unannounced, and a love affair begins. As Noam convinces his mates to seamlessly absorb his new lover into their bohemian lifestyle, it seems the four can live together happily, despite the conflict just outside their door. But as violence erupts around them, the harsher realities of the Middle East conflict begin to creep into the "bubble" these friends have created, in ways that will change them all forever.

Featuring a solid ensemble cast and a smart soundtrack including Belle & Sebastian, Keren Ann, Lloyd Cole, Nada Surf and Bebel Gilberto, The Bubble is another intense and enthralling drama from the director of Walk on Water and Yossi & Jagger.
