''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0476643/ The Bubble]]'' (or "הבועה" in Hebrew) is a 2006 Israeli film set in urban Tel Aviv, directed by Eytan Fox. It follows the lives and loves of several young Israeli (and Palestinian) people: Noam, a reluctant soldier; Ashraf, his lover from the West Bank; and Yali and Lulu, Noam's housemates (as well as several tertiary characters). The film centres on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and how it intrudes into every part of people's lives, even their most intimate moments.
----
!!Examples:
* {{Angst}}: Well, it's a film at least in part about the UsefulNotes/ArabIsraeliConflict.
* BadassIsraeli: Averted. Noam is a soldier, but it's pretty clear that he's no big fan of the occupation. He serves only because he's been drafted, and would be happier working at his other job in a record store. And he's not even that muscular.
* TheCameo: Creator/LiorAshkenazi AsHimself.
* CampGay: Yali and some of his buddies, much to his boyfriend's derision.
* DoggedNiceGuy: [[spoiler:Shaul]] with Lulu. A type 2 scenario.
* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex
* {{Gayngst}}: Ashraf's family is conservative and religious. The fact that he is gay and dating a Jewish Israeli probably wouldn't work out too well with them.
* GirlfriendInCanada: Ashraf tells his sister that he's seeing a Muslim divorcée in Jerusalem to explain why he's away from the West Bank so much.
* GreyAndGreyMorality: There aren't villains in this film; just people trying to get by and do their best.
* LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone: Subverted. Noam and Yali are about to go to the Sinai to give Lulu and her boyfriend some space, but then Ashraf shows up at the door. Possibly a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} (of Awkward).
* LoveAtFirstSight: Noam and Ashraf meet at a checkpoint between Israel and the West Bank.
* LoveMartyr
** Averted with Rana, Ashraf's sister. Her fiancé is [[spoiler:a terrorist]] but he also adores her.
** Played straight with Lulu and Sharon. The guy's clearly a jerk, but she wants so badly to believe he'll be different with her.
* MatzoFever
-->'''Ashraf:''' "So this is how Jews fuck."
* RelationshipUpgrade: With Lulu and [[spoiler: Shaul]].
* SerenadeYourLover:
* {{Sexiled}}: Ashraf and Noam hang out on the roof to give Lulu and Sharon some space.
* StraightGay: Exaggerated with Yali's boyfriend, [[ManlyGay Golan]].
* WarIsHell: The [[DownerEnding end of the movie is not happy]].
* WhamLine: [[spoiler:"I came to take your place."]]
