An Israeli entry, Aya centers around a young woman, Aya (Sarah Adler), who is asked to temporarily hold a sign for a soon to be airport arrival, Mr. Overby (Ulrich Thomsen). She agrees, but takes it a step further after the man assumes that she is, in fact, his driver.
She doesn't bother to correct him and on we go. Adler, perhaps known to audiences for Jellyfish, gives a delightful low-key performance as Aya, while Thomsen, matches her note for note. As they begin to drive, she tells him that she has a confession but it won't be what you expect. Eventually, things will become more readily apparent yet this chance encounter has already become something extra special.
