A very awkward but well intentioned comedy from Israel. By awkward I mean the pacing which is extremely slow. The film takes way too long to warm up and never takes off but manages to end on high note. The story is implausible and doesn't ring true somehow. The fetching Ronit Elkabetz and charming Saleh Bakri are worth watching in this film about peace and understanding. YRCinema's coverage of AFI Fest 2007.
