In this screwball romantic comedy, sparks fly when two families from wildly different cultural backgrounds collide to plan a same-sex wedding. After a string of not-too-serious girlfriends, Shira has finally found real love with Maria, a German who has uprooted entirely just to be with Shira in Tel Aviv. The two women plan to marry... eventually. But when Shira’s family inadvertently discovers the engagement, wedding plans kick into high gear. As Shira’s younger brother eagerly documents the family chaos for a school video project, Shira and Maria discover the road to happiness is more a minefield, littered with booby traps that could detonate at any time. Shirel Peleg’s brave, subversive debut finds laugh-out-loud comedy in even the darkest, most cringeworthy situations.
