Man Without a Cell Phone
6.6
Jawdat, a young Israeli Arab, just wants to have fun with his friends, spend hours chatting on his cell phone, and above all, find love. But he keeps going on failed dates with Muslim, Christian, and even Jewish girls, while desperately trying to pass his Hebrew test to get into university and leave his village. Things get complicated when Salem, his father, an olive farmer, wants him to join him in his fight against the antenna installed in a neighboring field by the Israeli telephone company, which he suspects is irradiating the villagers.
