Various Tel Aviv urbanites experience life altering moments, and these strangers’ lives zig-zag around each other until they finally intersect. Keren, a bride, loses her chance for a dream Caribbean honeymoon when she breaks her leg. Batya, a catering waitress at Keren’s wedding, takes in a mysterious little girl. Joy, a wedding guest, is dealing with guilt and grief over leaving her son behind in her native Philippines. Directors Shira Geffen and Etgar Keret employ magical surrealism to show joy in the unexpected on everyday life. Jellyfish was the recipient of the prestigious Camera d’Or for Best First Feature at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.
