Hammetz

It is Passover eve, a few hours before the festival is due to begin.  The famous Israeli football team Maccabi Tel Aviv is due to play the semi final against Barcelona.  Rubi, a divorced 45 year old sports teacher who lives with his mother, is dying to watch the game, but to please his mother, he must first do the ritual of "Bedikat Hammetz", a thorough check of all the rooms in the household to ensure that their home is free of foods forbidden on Passover.  The sudden appearance of Ruth, a vaccuum cleaner saleswoman on the doorstep, alters everybody's plans for the evening.
