Description

After fulfilling their military service, three friends from Haifa travel to the surfing mecca of Arugam Bay in Sri Lanka, seeking solace after a close friend was killed in a military operation in Lebanon. Embracing the laid back lifestyle, they bond with fellow surfers, including those from Iran. As they navigate their way through this tropical paradise, the bonds of their friendship are tested when long-suppressed emotions and buried trauma resurface. With an outstanding ensemble cast featuring Joy Rieger (Valley of Tears, Past Life), Yadin Gelman and Maor Schwitzer (Shtisel) in starring roles, Arugam Bay is a cathartic odyssey that promises to captivate audiences.
