As You Like

A father, a mother, and two daughters are in an idyllic setting at home, each doing his own thing. The moment is disrupted when dad comes up with a fun, spontaneous suggestion: to go to a restaurant together in Rosh Pina. From that moment, rather than bringing the family together, each step toward implementing this plan creates more and more complications and conflicts. They want to be together and it’s just not working out for them.
