Review

Lots of problems arrive out of nowhere to the life of a jewish school teacher who is living ordinary life. His wife tells that she will leave him because he is in love with their family friend and he gets kicked out from his home with his brother who have his own problems as well. He also have financial issues and his moral is on a tight situation when he have received a big pile of money in an envelope. He is assuming that the money is from his asian studen whom he have given failed number in his class and who wants to get another change.

I liked this movie a lot. This is confusing in many ways, but in a good way. Events in the plot are quite random and many times they are just like the life is - strange things just happen, and then you are not sure about all the things you have believed to be true if those are true anyway. Life is a mystery and we don't always have the answers, but maybe that makes life beautiful because we cannot control it all the time?
