"Jews in Space"
2005
Directed by Gabriel Lichtmann

"Why is this night different from all the other nights?" The answer to this traditional Passover question lingers throughout this twisted comedy-drama about a Jewish family in Buenos Aires who comes together to celebrate the holiday, despite petty jealousy, mismatched romantic feelings, and a suicidal patriarch. Affectionate yet keenly observed, Jews in Space features a cast of screen veterans, including Axel Anderson and Sammy Lerner. Spanish with English subtitles. 89 minutes.
