Synopsis: Bursting with mordant wit and alive with urgent real-life dramatic energy, Rashid Masharawi s Laila s Birthday is a (fleet, dark urban comedy - New York Times) that (moves at a brisk clip, ticking incidents like a meter on overtime - Time Out New York). At eight o clock, it s Laila s birthday, okay? Palestinian judge turned cab driver Abu Laila s wife reminds her husband. But on his young daughter s birthday, like any day, Abu faces a nerve-wracking shift in a Ramallah yellow cab armed only with an ex-jurist s misplaced pride, a father s loyalty, and a sticker reminding passengers that smoking and carrying AK-47 s are prohibited. Rather than address politics or document holy war heroics and villainy.
