Not a very good movie
Like the first commenter said, it was a bunch of vignettes -- some related, some not -- which were mostly boring. Some naked and/or sex scenes spiced it up.
Not sure why some highly-acclaimed actors would participate in it, except to get a pay-check during a lull in their careers. Seemed odd that most of the movie characters had same first name as the actors' first name.
It wasn't clear to me that it was about Jews and Arabs, perhaps mostly Arabs, until near the end. I didn't recognize anything as being Haifa or any other specific place -- mainly scenes of semi-squalor or ongoing construction -- despite my one trip to Israel including Haifa about seven years ago.
