The dramedy Seven Blessings swept the board at Israel’s Ophir Awards. Set in Jerusalem in the early 1990s, the film revolves around an eventful Jewish Moroccan family wedding and the following seven nights, with loved ones hosting special dinners in the couple’s honor. Behind the facade of joie de vivre and togetherness, there are secrets, lies, and a painful old wound from the past that threatens to burst the bubble of their lives. Added to the mix is a comedy of errors and misinterpretation from numerous members of the family speaking multiple languages.
Virtual Guest Speaker: SFSU Professor Eran Kaplan.
This screening will be shown only in-theatre.
