Joy Levine lives in an old apartment that, in complete contrast to her, is shabby and worn-out on the outside while well-kept and filled with joy on the inside. Her life changes when she auditions for a TV show called "Gotta Be Happy". To her astonishment, she is chosen, and her mission is to throw a surprise party for her parents on the upcoming show. However, there is a price to pay for all this: she has to let the viewers into her private inner world and share with them an event that has been overshadowing her family's life and hers for the past 22 years; an event that made a tight-knit bunch of friends shun her parents, Chaya and Yitzhak Levine.

Israélienne, Shira a grandi au sein d’une famille juive pratiquante aussi aimante qu’envahissante. Maria est allemande, et ne sait rien de ses grands-parents ni de leurs positions sous le régime hitlérien – ce que la famille de Shira ne manquera pas de lui demander. Lorsque les deux femmes emménagent ensemble à Jérusalem et décident de se marier, la joie est très vite ternie par les complications familiales. Si l’orientation sexuelle de Shira ne pose aucun problème, son entourage peine à accepter qu’elle ait choisi une femme non juive – et allemande de surcroît. Survivante de la Shoah, Berta, l’impitoyable grand-mère adorée de Shira, montre son hostilité à ce mariage de façon particulièrement virulente. Allusions au passé nazi de l’Allemagne, remarques cinglantes et tentatives de sabotage ne manquent pas de fuser. Sur ce tableau déjà bien complexe, les parents de Maria décident de se rendre à Jérusalem afin de faire la connaissance de la future belle-famille de leur fille…

From 1977 to his untimely death in 1993, Amos Guttman directed six films, all of them deeply personal reflections of his own life. Interviews with lovers, family and friends--including some of the most important people in Israeli cinema--tell the gripping story of a strikingly handsome, charismatic and deeply passionate gay man who has become a revered cult figure in Israeli cinema.Interviews with the late filmmaker and fascinating footage of him on the set convey the same passion that comes through in scenes from his films, lovingly selected by documentarian Ran Kotzer. Like Fellini, Guttman transformed his dreams and everyday conversations with friends and family into integral parts of his pictures. He is most remarkable for his striking and original use of the frame. Every shot is a treasure. Amos Guttman dared to portray subjects that were taboo in his society, and his search for the right of individual expression is the connecting link of his works.
