Pleasant but meandering ethnic sitcom comedy.

One of the most popular films in the history of Israeli cinema, this Oscar-nominated comedy catapulted Topol to international fame, resulting in his getting the title role of the musical Fiddler on the Roof.

Wonderfully rude and very funny. One of the finest films made in Israel.
