Leni (Marian Aguilera) arrives home to introduce her fiancé Rafi (Guillermo Toledo) to her jewish family for the first time. Everything goes wonderfully until they reveal that Rafi is a Palestinian. With his future mother in law (veteran actor Norma Aleandro) unhinged by the news, Rafi offers to take over in the kitchen. But he accidentally drops a frozen soup out of the seventh floor window, hitting a pedestrian below. As if the evening's not going badly enough, it turns out the pedestrian may be Leni's father.
Putting an ingenious spin on the meet-the-parents genre, husband and wife team - a neat adjunct to the film's theme of family and cohabitation - de Pelegri and Harari have delivered a hilarious and beautifully performed comedy of errors that also acts as a pin-sharp observation on the absurdities of the Palestinin-Israeli conflict and of intolerance in general.
