Fifty Fifty

Action Comedy, 90 min.

Niv Klainer, Jamal Khalaile, Lior Sasson, Baher Agbariya

A Palestinian and an Israeli go on a wild road trip trying to outsmart each other over a bag full of cash.

SYNOPSIS

Khalil Abu-Amar, a young and charismatic film-star, is given a ride home by Eli Landsman, a soon-to-be- divorced key grip, working with him on an Israeli B-movie set.

A series of bizarre events leaves them with a mysterious bag loaded with money. It quickly sparks their desire to deprive the other of his share.

They set off on a weekend filled with mutual deceptions, running across a socialist prostitute, tirelessly dancing hippies, ill-tempered farmers, intellectual plumbers and a merciless dealer of bogus archeology who can’t seem to find his bag.

But Khalil and Eli’s biggest fear is to become friends.

TRIGGER

After six years of working together, Jamal and Niv will either strangle each other or make a muddy and bloody comedy that will renegotiate the Middle East.
