Shira (Moran Rosenblatt) has finally found true love with Maria (Luise Wolfram), a German who has uprooted her life just to be with Shira in Tel Aviv. Their families are fine with a same sex marriage, but Shira’s headstrong and fiercely independent grandmother, Berta, strongly disapproves of any marriage between Germans and Jews. A rom-com that also reveals the confusing complexities in today’s Israeli society..
‘treads the very tricky line of touching upon serious topics such as politics (and the Holocaust no less!) to built in prejudices, familial rejection, and the joining of cultures, while balancing it with heartfelt romantic relationships and excellent comedic timing.’ Lesflics
