jellyfish (; "meduzot") is a 2007 israeli film based on a story by shira geffen and directed by her husband, etgar keret. the film tells the story of three women in tel aviv whose intersecting lives paint a pessimistic portrait of israeli secular life. batya, a waitress at weddings, comes across a mute child who seemingly emerges from the sea. keren, a bride whose wedding batya worked at, breaks her leg climbing out of bathroom stall and ruins her dream honeymoon in the process. and joy, a filipina domestic, attends to her employer with whom she struggles to communicate. poetic imagery draws connections between the lives of these women, all of whom find solace in the sea.
