Alegría

In the Spanish city of Melilla on the coast of North Africa, where Christians, Muslims, and Jews have lived peaceably for centuries, Alegría shuns her Jewish identity even as her daughter has become religious and moved to Israel. When a boisterous group of Spanish relatives arrive for an upcoming wedding, long-suppressed resentments cast a pall on festivities, as bonds between women from different cultures exert unexpected influence on one another’s lives. With Cecilia Suárez, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Sarah Perles.
