Movie Haiku:Shlomi’s the youngest in a multi-generational Israeli family headed by a "typical" Jewish mother (larger-than-life & over-protective). She’s tired of worrying about dyslexia/schmizlexia; she just wants Shlomi to finish high school & settle into a simple life. While Jan was thoroughly charmed, Rich found it all a bit too sweet.
