About film
A likable and hilariously funny British short film. Harry wants to marry his girlfriend and comes to the house of her parents dressed as a Samurai. Unfortunately, his potential father-in-law, Mr. Cohen, didn’t give his blessing for the wedding. That is why Harry decided to prove his intentions were serious and brought along a friend – someone to cut his head off it the harakiri takes too long. But Mr. Cohen will have a response for this ancient grueling Japanese ritual – an ancient Jewish tradition. It is amusing to watch how opposite cultural norms can meet and rhyme, in contemporary cinema and in today’s life alike.
