The film is a family comedy[3] chronicling a reluctantly Jewish man (Timothy Spall) who tries to re-unite his dysfunctional family in time for the Jewish celebration of Pesach so as to appease his ailing mother Honor Blackman.[4] Although they are all from the same family his estranged children hardly seem like they are from the same planet.
