Mrs. Yaffa Arieli dreams of marrying off her daughter to an American millionaire, but the young Tamar is already hung up on a military combat officer. The mother’s brother, a hippie cabby, one day picks up a fare – his passenger, Michael (aka Mike), is the son of a Texan millionaire and is in Israel on a quick visit.
On his way to Israel, whilst leafing through an Israeli magazine, Mike was mesmerised by the photo of a female soldier of Yemenite origins and has vowed to find her; a plan which of course completely clashes with Ms. Arieli’s, who is now putting pressure on Mike to give her daughter a chance. Peter Frye’s 1961 film, starring Haim Topol, was the first Hebrew-speaking film, set in Israel, to become a box office hit.
