This is one of those films with several storylines that intersect in small ways, united in this case by a wedding in Tel Aviv. Despite the Israeli setting, the movie is neither political nor, for the most part, particular to its setting. One character is a struggling waitress working for a caterer and living in an apartment with a leaking roof. Having lost a boyfriend, she finds a lost child by the sea. Another story concerns newlyweds who seem to be on different wavelengths, which could be the theme of all the stories. The third plotline is about a Philippine home health aide whose communication problems are quite literal. (She speaks English, but very little Hebrew.)
I enjoyed this while I was watching it, but it seemed wispy and insubstantial, kind of an indie version of a feel-good movie, with a sort of poetic ending.
