Growing up in a jewish family. Where mom has your life all planned out. When motti (joel basman) meets a girl, who is not at all jewish, his mother disapproves. Mom is constantly complaining, and disapproves of everything her son does. As do ALL our mothers, no matter your ethnic or religious background. They ship him off to israel so he can meet a nice jewish girl. He finds a cute girl. But when he speaks to his mother on the phone, he is rude and crude. Which seemed to be quite out of character... there was clearly a nicer way to say the girl just wanted to be friends... with benefits. There's a huge confrontation back at home, and now motti is out of the house. Also a pretty unclear translation; the english subtitles say one thing, while the (netflix) spoken english track frequently says something quite different. It ends rather abruptly, but we can see the lessons that motti has learned. Or not. We're not really sure. Directed by michael steiner. Story by thomas meyer. It's pretty good.
