An Ashkenazi family in Mexico City celebrates shiva for its patriarch, who had a Gentile mistress many years younger than him.  The family is dysfunctional, almost beyond belief. The deceased has brought together family, friends and former lovers who have side-splitting stories, conflicts and rivalries that are catalogued over the seven-day shivah mourning period. The film is a consistently entertaining and wacky cinematic experience.
