Jellyfish (Hebrew: מדוזות; Meduzot) is a 2007 drama film based on a story by Shira Geffen and directed by Etgar Keret. The film tells the story of three women in Tel Aviv whose intersecting lives paint a pessimistic portrait of Israeli secular life. Batya, a waitress at weddings, comes across a mute child who seemingly emerges from the sea.

Jellyfish was the winner of the 2007 Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, an official selection of
