The Bubble

Romance, comedy and tragedy converge in Israeli filmmaker Eytan Fox's story of three hip 20-somethings from Tel Aviv. Lulu (Daniela Wircer) and her gay roommates Yali (Alon Friedmann) and Noam (Ohad Knoller) are regulars in Tel Aviv's most trendy and fashionable nightspots. When Noam falls for Ashraf (Yousef "Joe" Sweid), an undocumented Palestinian from Nablus, the roomies come together to welcome him into their world.
