Alila (2003)

English translation for the title: Story plot.
Synopsis: Several characters living in a lower-class building and their stories. A divorced couple whose son has deserted the Israeli army; a woman who uses one of the apartments for sexual encounters with a married man; etc.
Appraisal: This film has a poor execution and uninteresting characters; its only possible interest is that it offers a revealing glimpse into some aspects of Israeli life. Based on the 1997 novel "Returning Lost Loves" by Yehoshua Kenaz.
Rating: 39
