Movie Haiku:CFIC 2009: Incredibly handsome Russian Jew (David) moves to Bnei Brak (an Orthodox neighborhood in Tel Aviv) to establish a beachhead for his family (still in Moscow), & ends up falling hard for his neighbor (Gaya Traub). The 4 parents are played by well-known Israeli actors who help make this Romeo & Juliet TV mini-series a microcosm of contemporary Israeli culture clash. Excellent!
