The Bubble/HaBuah


Synopsis

Two gay men live with a straight woman, all Israelis, in the trendy and somewhat bohemian Sheinkin Street neighborhood of Tel Aviv.  One of the men meets a gay Arab man at a military check-point while performing reserve duty as a soldier in the West Bank.  The Arab man and the Israeli reserve soldier become romantically involved, and the lives of all the principal characters in this Eytan Fox film are forever changed. A surprise ending.

Parental warning: This is a film for adults that includes homosexual scenes.
