Learn how Israeli humor functions even in these unsettling times! In "Yana's Friends" (1999), Yana, a beautiful Russian immigrant, is surrounded by an eccentric cast of characters in her "slum" apartment and neighborhood. Everyone is struggling to get ahead—or at least stay afloat. Set during the Iraq war that sent Israelis scrambling for their gas masks every time sirens warned of a SCUD missile attack, "Yana's Friends" is at heart both a "laugh-out-loud" comedy and a sexy love story.
