Nora’s Will: A Suicide, a Rabbi and a Pizza

In this wry Mexican dramedy, a long-troubled woman ends her life, and her ex-husband and adult son start uncovering some jarring family secrets.  The son is out-of-town, so the ex is stuck with resentfully planning the funeral with the interference of an obnoxious rabbi.  Did I mention that Nora’s Will is set among orthodox Jews in Mexico City – who knew?  The frustrated ex-husband finally offers a ham, bacon and sausage pizza to the orthodox rabbi during Passover, and somehow all the Jewish cemeteries in Mexico City become unavailable.  After many chuckles, there’s a sweet ending.
