Movie Haiku:Enjoyable if contrived Israeli soap opera about three sisters, triplets born into luxury in Alexandra, Egypt, and forced to immigrate to Israel as teenagers. Lively performances abound & snapshot of Israeli social mores thru the decades is fascinating, but the “big secret” is an annoying & totally improbable “faux hook.”
