Vicki, a Mexican salsa dancer, leaves her young son with her mother, and, disguised as a nun, flies to Israel to follow Beto, the father of her child. On the plane she meets Yoni, a young Israeli biologist who is coming home to marry his rich girlfriend, Dafna. During the long flight, a strange, amusing friendship develops. Once in Israel, immigration police arrest Beto, and Vicki seeks refuge at Yoni’s house – but Yoni can only hide Vicki’s presence from Dafna for so long.

The Israeli Consulate and the ERJCC are proud to present this 1972 Academy Award Nominee for Best Foreign Language Film on the birthday of legendary Writer/Director Ephraim Kishon. Avraham Azolay (Shaike Ophir) is a policeman in Jaffa whose incompetence is matched only by his soft-heartedness. On the eve of his retirement, this bumbling cop encounters religious zealots, comes to the aid of a prostitute, and unwittingly solves a crime staged for his benefit.
