ILFF10/2006 "Judíos en el espacio / Jews in Space"

dir. Gabriel Lichtman, 2005, Argentina, 90 min.

Jews in Space by Gabriel Lichtmann is a brilliant and unconventional comedy that captures the eclectic realities of a Jewish family in contemporary Argentina. Set in modern day Buenos Aires, it portrays the dynamic impact family reunions, such as Passover, can have on certain members of the family. Characters include three sisters very jealous of each other, a suicidal grandfather, a kleptomaniac niece and a cousin in love with his own cousin. Santiago, an introverted and timid young man, has a reencounter with his cousin, Luciana whom he has not seen since childhood. Brought together by their grandfather's sudden overdose and a snap decision to celebrate Passover together, the two cousins rekindle their relationship. This film offers an array of peculiar yet comical scenarios that leave us questioning our own family values and give new meaning to the traditional Passover question, "Why is this night different from all the other nights?"
