interesting view of Uruguayan bar mitzvah

No matter where a Jewish family may live in the world, and what other languages they may speak, theological tradition pretty much mandates that Hebrew will be spoken. This film takes a look at the family life of a Jewish boy preparing a bar mitzvah. It's a nice snapshot slice of life: Rafael is followed through his preparation, the Moré assuring him that *everyone* gets nervous, and that he'll do fine. Rafael's father runs a plumbing/kitchen/bath fixtures store, and the More' - and others in the film - have him relay messages of need and/or thanks for jobs; his mother's dealing with seating of different families that don't want to be seated with others; Rafael's other brother razzes his younger sister about a friend who thinks she's hot; his mother asks him about his session with the cosmetologist for his acne.

There may be a tangential comment on the economy of the country, as the other brother mentions that he got a gift of $100 from a family who gave Rafael $50; the mother says "Times are different now." In a 13-minute piece, you get a nice overview of the family and the event - although I'm not quite certain that the closing scene is a standard feature in bar mitzvah's! This was shown along with the Uruguyan film WHISKY as part of the Global Lens Initiative 2005.
