Israeli co-directors Etgar Keret and Shira Geffen have both written children's books and graphic novels, so it's only natural that their first feature, Jellyfish, possesses the matter-of-fact combination of the magical and the ordinary that kids take for granted. Batya encounters a lost child who mysteriously emerges from the sea; aging Malka grouses helplessly at her Filipina aide, Joy; and newlyweds Michael and Keren's bond threatens to unravel after a seemingly minor series of events. Through it all weaves the sea, whose power contrasts wildly with the lack of control these characters exert over their own lives.
