This remarkable Israeli movie about arranged marriages starts as a romantic comedy: unmarried at 31, Zaza is an embarrassment to his family. Though they parade him past young, attractive, and eligible girls, he resists them all--because Zaza already has a secret love affair with Judith, a divorcée. Zaza knows his parents would never accept Judith; but when his parents find out, the results are worse than either of them ever expected, leading to a harrowing and sad conclusion. Every turn of the story is full of lively, unexpected details; there's not a predictable moment in the entire movie. Dover Koshashvili - 2003

I was thrilled to be asked to Malibu to interview these two testaments to the long lasting possibilities of togetherness - they, together 14 years now, married one, are in love and open enough to talk about the bumps in the road. They are house sitting, a journalist and jewelry designer, reveling in an oasis on the edge of the ocean, but both have an individual strength that outshines their impermanent beautiful environment. They got married in Africa, in the midst of another deeply rooted culture, without their families and with large smiles with a backdrop of human origin and current tribal bliss. I can't wait to edit this footage.
