Holiday Flowers
After losing their former business, Gila and Motti resort to selling flowers and strawberries on the roadside to make a living. Motti is a 51-year-old man of honor with a checkered past and Gila is 39-year-old fiery red head divorcee with two kids. She is neurotic, sarcastic, a workaholic and toothless. The couple hopes to make enough money over the Passover holiday to have Gila’s teeth fixed. They must overcome daily clashes with the police, municipal authorities, and the local mob in order to survive. When things become hectic over the Passover weekend, the people who stop to make a last minute flower purchases for the holiday might hold the key to their salvation.
