Self Made (film)

Self Made is a 2014 Israeli film written and directed by Shira Geffen.

Synopsis
The film tells the story of two women, Michal and Nadine. Michal is a successful visual artist living in Jerusalem. She orders a new double bed from a furniture company called "Ithaca" (a parody of "IKEA"), but when it is delivered to her home, she discovers that one of the necessary screws is missing. One morning, she falls out of her bed and loses her memory. Nadine, a Palestinian woman living in a refugee camp with her older brother, faces a challenging life: her mother has died, her father is imprisoned in Israel, and she is unmarried, much to the disapproval of her community. She longs for a child and spends most of her time commuting through checkpoints to work at a factory, where her job is to place screws in bags. Nadine loses her job after Michal complains about the missing screw. Everything changes when a soldier at a checkpoint mistakes one woman for the other, sending each to the other's home. In a series of surreal scenes, they begin to swap identities and lives from opposite sides of the checkpoint. ==Cast==
