Jewish humour meets Spanish screwball comedy in this farce set in an eccentric family in Madrid. Leni is bringing her fiancé Rafi to meet her Jewish family. She has neglected to inform her mother that Rafi is Palestinian. Rafi, who is pretending to be Jewish, is unaware quite how peculiar Leni’s family really is.
When the couple decides to come clean, things start going wrong. An irreverent family comedy infusing brilliant characterisation with unrelenting hilarity. A modern twist on the age-old story of meeting the parents. In Spanish with English subtitles.
