Gisele and Alain are having a mid-life crisis. They’ve neglected their Jewish faith and traditions and as a result their son is marrying a catholic girl. In an attempt to reconnect – in more ways than one – the couple decide to leave their life in Paris and move to Israel. Yup, not buy new cars or splash out on a holiday home – move to Israel.As one would expect, life in the Holy Land is not so easy. For one, Alain, in his ripe old middle age is expected to get circumcised to show his commitment to the faith, and his wife starts getting worryingly close to a young rabbi. Of course the unusual and trying experiences are what they were unconsciously seeking and give them a certain amount of perspective on their lives. Consider this movie like driving a Toyota Corolla: It’s a safe bet but not going to blow your hair back.
Rating: 2 outta 5.
