A spirited Spanish farce replete with gross misunderstandings, eccentric characters, unfortunate coincidences and hastily constructed cover stories - it's the sort of thing Basil Fawlty might get into if he'd married Manuel's sister. The confusion starts when actress Leni returns to her Jewish homestead after a long absence, accompanied by her new boyfriend, Rafi. It emerges that Rafi is Palestinian and almost fatally clumsy, but even without these complications, Leni's family is a powder keg of internal tensions.

Sister Tania is a highly sexed single mother with a long-held suspicion that her mother favours Leni. Their brother has chosen to embrace the more orthodox side of Judaism, and since this is the Sabbath, he goes around the house taping over light switches and hiding people's phones. The set-up is all too transparently primed for hilarity, but it does at least deliver the laughs with regularity.
