Menahem Talmi

The television series “Jaffa Pictures” (based on the books by Menachem Talmi) depicts the deeds and adventures of Big Solomon, Prosper, Hazuka, the beautiful Angel, Zaki Shaksuka, and their families, friends, colleagues, and associates, representatives of the Jaffa underworld, and their struggles with their enemies, representatives of gangs from other places such as Ramla, who try to invade their territory in Jaffa, as well as their not-so-friendly relations with the Jaffa police, who keep a watchful eye on them, albeit tolerantly, and do not hesitate to use their services when necessary.

A film about the clash between the patriarchal values of Jewish immigrants from North Africa and modern life.

Five stories that combine fairy tales and fantasy with wisdom, crime, and lots of original and unique humor. The common denominator in all of them is the Jaffa atmosphere as seen through the eyes of Jaffa's community: the Big Solomon, the boy Jacob, Hazuka, the laughing Samson, old Hatzura, Babula, and a host of colorful characters surrounding them.
