A torn country under the magnifying glass: Against the backdrop of the Israel-Palestine conflict, Scandar Copti unfolds a moving family drama. Haifa. A car accident initially has mild consequences for the young "Fifi." However, the event triggers a dynamic of lies and intrigues that plunges two families - one Jewish-Israeli, the other Palestinian - into a deep crisis. - With great empathy for all sides, ›Happy Holidays‹ portrays a young Israeli generation caught between conservative values and their own disorientation. Told in alternating episodes, a complex kaleidoscope of perspectives emerges. And in the end, it is primarily young women who demonstrate strength in the tense situation and provide grounds for hope. A powerful film. An important film. Scandar Copti is an Arab-Israeli filmmaker known for highlighting the social issues of Arab society in Israel in his films. His debut film ›Ajami‹ (2009) was nominated for an Oscar. For ›Happy Holidays‹, he received the Orizzonti Award for Best Screenplay this year in Venice.
