Paper Dolls

Tomer Heymann, Director
When Israel closed its borders to Palestinian workers in 2000, more than 300,000 foreign laborers arrived to fill the vacant positions. Among them was a quintet of Filipino caregivers for the elderly, who happen to be transsexual and gather once a week at a nightclub to perform a lip-synching act as "The Paper Dolls." Writer-director Tomer Heymann's compassionate diary-like documentary chronicles their progress at work and on stage as they struggle to fit in. "Sad, sweet and oddly inspirational" - Salon.
