Synopsis
Jalla! Jalla! (2000) is Josef Fares' Swedish tragicomedy, free to watch online on iFILM. Roro rakes leaves in Gothenburg's parks, dates a Swedish woman named Lisa, and keeps his life balanced — until his relatives decide it's high time he married.
The bride they pick, Yasmin, wants the match no more than he does: a paper marriage is her only way to avoid being sent back to Lebanon. So the two fake a romance for both families while hiding the truth from the people they actually love. Meanwhile Roro's best friend Måns hits a very private crisis and drags him into a string of clumsy fixes. Fares cast his own brother, Fares Fares, in the lead, and the result is loud, warm and squirm-funny at once — a story about being cornered by other people's expectations. A good pick if you like European comedies built on flawed, believable characters. Stream Jalla! Jalla! online on iFILM.
