SHOWTIMES: 9:45p - SUN 2/21

PART OF THE 2010 ATHENS JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL

LIKE A FISH OUT OF WATER is the story of Marcelo, a non-religious young man, who is an actor and a single parent to his eleven year old daughter, Lucy. He is desperately looking for someone to help him improve his Hebrew accent so he can pass the auditions for an Israeli Soap Opera. Anat, his religious teacher, is probably the best solution, but it seems that she hates soap operas, and is not so fund of her pupil either. In fact, she has her own problems: mainly her mother, Bruria, an energetic, not to say pushy lady, is frantically seeking a perfect match for her daughter who has, in her eyes, clearly passed the proper wedding age. This short film is a light romantic comedy. athensjff.org
