Late Marriage Movie Review 2001

Thirty-one-year-old Zaza (Ashkenazi) is an Israeli of Georgian descent who lives in a very close-knit and traditional community. His parents are appalled that he's still single and keep setting him up with virginal likely prospects. They don't know that he's devoted to Judith (Elkabetz), who's not only slightly older (she's 34) but a divorced single mom and Moroccan! When they do find out, they barge into her apartment--humiliating both. But is Zaza strong enough to defy conventions and stay with his true love? In Georgian and Hebrew with subtitles.
