Day After Day
Directed by Amos Gitai1h 42m1998
In spite of blood ties to both Haifa's Jewish and Arab populations, Moshe leads a rootless existence. Grown weary of his impatient wife Didi and ambivalent about his needy young mistress Grisha, the only relationships Moshe doesn't complicate are with his devoted parents, Jewish Hanna and Arab Yussuf, and with Jules, Moshe's ne'er-do-well childhood friend. But when Jules' real estate developer brother moves to buy a prized piece of property from the Arab side of the family, Moshe's divided ancestry is put to the test.
