Avoiding alcohol and pork is no problem for Phaim. But how do you rhyme infatuation with no sex before marriage?

Based on the life of the filmmaker himself, this romantic comedy tells the story of a second-generation immigrant in Rome. When he falls in love, his butterflies clash with parental expectations. A playful debut that tackles complex themes such as integration, multiculturalism, religion and identity without losing its light-hearted tone.
