Bella
Wednesday, Aug. 12 | 6:00 pm
When Yaki discovers that his only inheritance is a priceless dove, it’s already too late. Together with Bilal, his childhood friend, and their wives, he embarks on a wild road trip across Israel and Palestine to bring Bella back. They’ll get stuck at checkpoints, ruin a wedding, steal a car, join a reconciliation ceremony, and even revive an unconscious dove—all racing not to miss the Jerusalem Dove Beauty Pageant. A heartwarming comedy co-directed by an Israeli and a Palestinian.
