A subversive love story between clashing cultures and families, Kiss Me Kosher is a romantic misadventure crossing all borders. When two generations of Israeli women fall for a German woman and a Palestinian man, chaos ensues. What happens with lovers who don’t fit but do belong together? When Maria lands in Tel Aviv from Germany and arrives at her lover Shira’s apartment, one small miss-step activates a romantic journey of mythic proportions.
