סאלח שבתי

תקציר באנגלית EN

Sallah, a new immigrant from an Arab country, arrives with his family at a transit camp in 1950s Israel and runs up against bureaucracy, officials and the gaps in a society still taking shape. Through small, sharp schemes he tries to win housing and dignity for his family without giving up his pride. Ephraim Kishon's comedy, starring Chaim Topol, was the first Israeli film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and won the Golden Globe in that category.
