LAILAS BIRTHDAY
Director: Rashid Masharawi
2008 / Netherlands, Palestine, Tunisia / 72 min / Arabic w/English subtitles
Fiction
A comically existential fable about a day in the life of a former-judge-turned-taxi driver, on the day of his daughter Laila's seventh birthday. His only goal is to be home early with a present and a cake, but life takes him through many twists and turns before he gets home. His customers include a young Romeo who hires the taxi to have a place alone with his lover; a housewife wholl stop anywhere theres a free-food giveaway, armed Palestinian militia members, and an ex-convict who leaves his cell phone in the cab.
