Wonderful, funny evocation of small-town South Africa

As an American who has lived for many years in Southern Africa, I was enthralled by this sweet, funny film. It captures the beauty, humor and unexpected depth of life in a South African dorp (small town), as seen through the eyes of a young urban Jewish woman who unexpected finds herself directing the annual Nativity play. The story and the characters are universal enough that most people will love them, whether or not they know South Africa itself. Those who are fortunate enough to have lived in or visited this country are in for an extra treat. Highly recommended!
