The acting is pitch-perfect and the film has moments of self-reflection that Marigold simply never attained despite its star-studded cast.” –Lincoln Shlensky for The Vancover JFF.”--‐ Variety
In this warm and soulful comedy, 65 year old Peter, a widower, and a bit player at the Habima Theatre sits around “kvetching” with his Romanian cronies at their regular coffee shop. Their young waitress, Alona, works day and night but is broke and her love life is a mess. Peter offers Alona temporary shelter while she challenges him to get on with his life. So that he and his buddies could be guaranteed government pensions, Peter decides to form a new political party for widows and widowers. Alona agrees to help Peter’s election campaign to the Knesset. Along the way, everyone learns more about life, love and friendship. CLOUDY
