What a Wonderful Place (Hebrew:איזה מקום נפלא -Eize Makom Nifla) is a2005Israelidrama film directed by Eyal Halfon. It includes three seemingly unrelated storylines which intersect at the end, set in southernTel Aviv, theArabah and an unidentified Israeliurbansuburb. The film deals with issues oftrafficking of women and the lives offoreign workers in Israel.
The plot follows three stories that seem unrelated, that intersect in a uniform plot line. The first story takes place in SouthTel Aviv, and follows Franco, a formerpoliceman who undertakes to work for a big mobster, goes through a process of self-discovery through Zhana, anescort who is under his protection. In parallel, another plot line is underway in the fields of the southernArava, where Seltzer, a farmer working in the Arava, tries to find Zhanna following a picture he found by chance, and has to trust one of hisThaiworkers in his search. The third story takes place in ahousing estate in anurban suburb, where Aloni, a nature reserve inspector who leads a pursuit of foreign workers, is forced to deal with his sick father, and does this with the help of Eddie, aFilipino nurse. During the film, the viewer is exposed to the world of the foreign workers in the State of Israel.
