SPA25: Mazel Tov

Australian premiere

Directed by and starring Adrián Suar (A Boyfriend for My Wife), Argentinian box office hit Mazel Tov is a bittersweet and heartfelt family drama about forgiveness, sibling rivalry, letting go, and coming home.

Darío lives in the USA and is estranged from his father and brothers. He decides to travel to his hometown in Argentina to attend his sister’s wedding and his niece’s Bat Mitzvah, seeing his return as an opportunity to rebuild his family ties. But the devastating news of his father’s untimely passing a few hours prior to boarding the plane changes everything.

Together, the family must gather for the funeral whilst determining how to handle the postponement of both the wedding and Bat Mitzvah. While Darío is determined to celebrate the two significant events, his siblings are divided. Amidst emotional turmoil and comic outbursts, old frustrations come to the surface and tensions boil over. Will it be too late for reflection and redemption or will the spirit of Yom Kippur aid forgiveness as they move from mourning to celebration.
