"Bonjour, Monsieur Shlomi"
2004
Directed by Shemi Zarhin

Oshri Cohen plays a 17-year-old Israeli boy who's too busy caring for his needy family to realize his academic talents in this cheerful and inspiring coming-of-age comedy. Shlomi's (Cohen) day is full of chores - he cares for his aging grandfather, cooks the family meals, watches after his younger brother, and keeps the house tidy for his hardworking mother. Schoolwork takes a back seat until the day that Shlomi's math teacher (Nisso Khavia) tells the boy's family of his prodigious gift - an announcement they greet with more worry than celebration. "A feel-good movie about an unassuming teen and the machinations necessary to reveal his hidden genius" (Ruth Stein, San Francisco Chronicle). 98 minutes.
