Rent this film "Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi"

A major hit with audiences at the UK Jewish Film Festival 2004 this warm and witty family comedy centres on Shlomi, a 16- year-old boy who plays the role of peacekeeper in his chaotic family. The pressure of being constant mediator, confidant and cook leaves Shlomi little time to develop his own personality. But when his teacher detects an extraordinary gift in Shlomi, aided by the power of first love, Shlomi breaks out of his timid shell and discovers his own independence. “Well paced coming-of-age film that nicely captures the lives of a clan spanning several generations.” Robert Koehler, Variety
