"Jellyfish," winner of the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, is an Israeli/ French film that weaves a poignant, often witty story of three very different Tel Aviv women. The trio's intersecting stories create an unlikely portrait of modern Israeli life.

The film, now showing at the Towne Stadium 16 (next to the Shore Mall) beginning July 25 for one week, is in Hebrew with English subtitles. It follows Batya, a catering waitress who takes in a child apparently abandoned at a local beach. She is one of the servers at the wedding reception of Keren, a bride who breaks her leg escaping a locked toilet stall, ruining her chance at a dream Caribbean honeymoon.

Attending the event with an employer is Joy, a non- Hebrew-speaking domestic worker who has guiltily left her son behind in her native Philippines.

As the three separately wend their way through Israel's most cosmopolitan city, they struggle with issues of communication, affection and destiny - but at times find uneasy refuge in its tranquil seas.
