- Synopsis
- LAILA IN HAIFA is the latest feature from acclaimed artist and filmmaker Amos Gitai. With an ensemble cast of both Israeli and Palestinian actors, LAILA IN HAIFA is a drama with wry humour set over one night in a club in the port town of Haifa. Over the course of one night, we witness the interweaving stories of 5 women through a series of encounters and situations. Defying all categories and labels, in their relationships and their personal identities, LAILA IN HAIFA presents a candid snapshot of contemporary life in Israel. As one of the last remaining spaces where Israelis and Palestinians come together to engage in face-to-face relationships, the club itself is vital to the fabric of the film.
