"The Flying Camel"
1994
Directed by Rami Na'aman

Ethnic and religious differences are set aside to honor humanity in this warm, upbeat comedy about a Jewish professor, an Arabic trash collector and a Catholic nun who wind up together in the professor's junkyard. At first, there is conflict over the property itself, which the trash collector claims was the former location of his father's orange grove. Eventually, with differences resolved, they team up to reconstruct a flying camel statue that had been used as a symbol of Tel Aviv's renewal at the 1934 Eastern Fair. Hebrew with English subtitles. 92 minutes.
