Not a film for everyone, but I liked it because it was set in Israel, in Tel Aviv, great shots of the ocean, shore. "Batya" is a waitress at a wedding hall, but no wedding in the future for her. She finds a lost girl at the ocean beach, ends up having to take her home. Get it? She finds a lost girl - she finds her lost childhood. She looks at old super 8 movies, returns to her childhood, and I think re-examines her sexual orientation. "Joy" is a fillipino worker, takes care of an 80ish woman whose daughter is an actor. Grandma and daughter do not get along, there is something that prevents them from connecting, but grandma connects with Joy in a beautiful scene, embracing Joy, while the daughter looks on through a window, astonished, hurt at what she sees but can not accomplish. "Karen" is a new bride, who locks herself in the toilet accidentally, climbs over the stall, breaks her leg, cant have sex on the honeymoon, cant stand the hotel room they are in, suspects her husband of infidelity with a mysterious hotel guest. She starts to write a poem, but later the poem is finished by the mysterious guest, it is a suicide note. Get it? "Break a leg," no sex, trapped in this hotel, suicide - what is marriage? A trap? Suicide? I really liked the role of the lost girl - she was so cute, beautiful, and the symbol of the girl as the lost childhood, haunting. Perhaps this film would mean more emotionally to me if I was a woman. Great film - women's groups should view it and have a lot to discuss after.
