What happens when you find out you aren’t who you think you are? Mahmud Nasir, a nice Muslim family guy, discovers he’s adopted when his mother dies. Adopted, okay, but the son of Jewish parents? Hilarity ensues when Mahmud tries to explore his Jewish roots. A sarcastic Jewish taxi driver (Richard Schiff from “West Wing”) serves as his guide into the Jewish world of matzo ball soup, dancing the hora and the proper way to say “Oy!” But will his Muslim family accept his new identity? This outrageous satire pokes fun at the serious subject of Muslim-Jewish relations with surprisingly satisfying results. (Adult Language)
