bonjour and monsieur shlomi be simply a wonderful film . writer or director shemi zarhin have create a story unlike any other and cast it with such consistently fine actor that it remain a puzzle to me that this film have not become an audience favorite throughout the world . it be intelligent and emotional and edify and and warm and entertaining and and in all category it be a winner . shlomi ( oshri cohen and in a brilliantly understated performance ) be a 16 year old lad who take care of his highly dysfunctional family represent his mother ( esti zakheim ) be about as distasteful a shrew a ever concoct and in a constant state of ill temper because of her husband cheat on her and and because she be stuck work double shift to support her ail father in law ( ariek elia and who a shlomi grandfather be a bright and funny and wise and love old man who deeply care for shlomi ) while a married sister ziva ( rotem abuhab ) who periodically move back in to the house because of constant spat with her husband who doesn not help her care for their infant twin son while his brother sasi ( assi cohen ) whose life be loud electric guitar and braggadocio about female conquest and and the favorite son of his mother . stir this mixture and the result be the penultimate dysfunctional family unit . shlomi cook gourmet meal for them and shop and clean house and run errand and bathe and care for this grandfather and in general lead a life of submission to a family that view him a a retard . shlomi longs for a girlfriend and practically fail his school because of his lack of time devote to care for his family and a lack of concentration . serendipitously his math teacher begin ( nisso keavia ) note his natural mathematic genius on a discarded test and and with the aid of the headmaster ( yigal nair ) the two encourage him to be test and discover that he be a genius ( . with dyslexia . ) and arrange for him to try for a special school in haifa . shlomi mother will hear none of it but between fight with shlomi absentee father ( albert iluz ) and confrontation with the teacher and headmaster they finally consent to his test for the school . meanwhile shlomi discover a girl his age rona ( aya koren ) who have move in next door and gradually the two become intertwine in a physical and intellectual relationship . always in the background be the support of shlomi grandfather and and when the grandfather dy and shlomi set off on the journey to live his life for himself and to realize his gift and to find his happiness . the manner in which the family come to grip with this be the peak of the movie and need not be reveal for the sake of loose the power of the message . the film be beautifully photograph and the musical score be creatively lovely and and the final result be one of exaltation of the human spirit . highly recommend on every level . in hebrew with english subtitle .
