Laila’s Birthday
Sinossi
Abu Laila è un funzionario ma per vivere fa il taxista. E’ un uomo qualsiasi, ordinario, preciso, diligente, quasi maniacale nei suoi rituali. Il giorno del compleanno della figlia le promette di festeggiarla al suo ritorno a casa. Nel corso della giornata si scontra con tutti i paradossi possibili della società palestinese: l’incapacità della politica di farsi carico dei problemi della gente, la polizia, il sistema giudiziario, gli attacchi israeliani. Mentre intorno a lui si scatena il finimondo, egli è determinato a trovare un regalo per la figlia e non demorde. Cerca a tutti i costi una normalità…

On the day of his daughter Laila¡¦s seventh birthday, his wife insists that he needs be home early with a present and a cake. Abu Laila has nothing else on his mind than completing this mission. But the daily life in Palestine is a bit chaotic and takes him in many other directions before he gets home.
