Audience Member The story is about Alex, a 27-year-old Jewish drug dealer in Paris who, at a family gathering, meets his cousin who has returned from Israel after completing his military service, with grandiose plans to open a restaurant in Tel Aviv. Alex wants to leave his life in Paris and join his cousin, but he must first emigrate to Israel, and bring 15 grand in money (which currency?) with him. Of course emigrating to Israel, even for a Jew, is not so simple. Having had no interest in his Jewish roots, he now has to learn the Hebrew language and find evidence of his Jewishness to be allowed to enter Israel, and he has to raise the money. The latter fact is complicated by an older brother who keeps asking for money from him, and with meeting a woman who falls in love with him and wants him to stay. On the plus side, we are kept guessing what will happen until the end. On the minus side, the movie is slow and overlong, and the ending is abrupt and weak. Still the idea is intriguing.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Really good film but I'd say the ending let it down - would've like to have learned more about his life there and what happened to Jeanne. Pio was amazing as usual! :) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Too flat, too mild for my appetite. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member The dialogues need more work, the cast is not what it should be, the story is very predictible. I like the simplicity of the shots and the naturalism. All this is quite young but keep going!
