Think your family gatherings are stressful? Although Abe has lived all his life in Brooklyn, when he turns 13, the barely concealed agendas of his half Jewish Israeli, half Palestinian family suddenly seem to take over. With the guidance of a multicultural Brazilian chef, Abe learns that fusion doesn’t have to be confusion and starts to form his own identity. But will his family listen? This warm-hearted movie explores how food and culture can divide us, but also ultimately lead to greater understanding. Starring Noah Schnapp of Stranger Things.
