Noam serves with the Israeli Army on the border of the Palestinian territories, and meets Ashraf when he crosses through the checkpoint, then turns up on Tel Aviv’s gay party scene.
Considering themselves enlightened, Noam’s friends actively support liberal political causes, distributing flyers and organizing antioccupation raves. A passionate affair flourishes in this “bubble,” but political and family pressures force a hard look at the circumstances that fueled their attraction, and conspire to drive them apart. Stern and unflinching in its mapping of battle lines, The Bubble is a modern Romeo and Juliet from the director of Yossi & Jagger.
