Jaffa (alternative name in Hebrew כלת הים transliteration Kalat Hayam, in Arabic عروس البحر transliteration "Arous el Bahr" both Hebrew and Arabic meaning "the bride of the sea") is a 2009 Israeli film directed by Keren Yedaya.

A joint Israeli, French and German production, it was given a special screening at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.

[1] Jaffa is a mixed Palestinian - Jewish seaside city near Tel Aviv, where Reuven Wolf (Moni Moshonov) has a garage for repairing cars.

His wife Ossi (Ronit Elkabetz), a vain, self-centered woman, just makes everybody's life difficult.

The couple's daughter, Mali Wolf (Dana Ivgy), has secretly fallen in love with her childhood friend, the young Toufik (newcomer Mahmud Shalaby), a hard-working youth who has come as a helping hand to his Israeli-Palestinian father Hassan, a long-time mechanic working for Reuven.
