action
The Lebanese-born Christian Roro has a steadfast Swedish girlfriend, Lisa. His friend and work colleague Måns is also in a relationship, but he has erectile problems.
When Lisa asks to get to know Roro's parents, he puts them off. Because they don't know anything about his relationship and want to marry him off to Yasmin, who is also of Lebanese origin. A family reunion will be arranged to make everything clear. Roro and Yasmin agree, although they have agreed between themselves that they will not actually get married. By faking a marriage wish, Yasmin wants to gain time before her parents send her back to Lebanon. Meanwhile, Måns tried various remedies for erectile dysfunction, but without success.
Yasmin and Roro are put under great pressure by Yasmin's brother Paul, who immediately organizes an apartment for the two of them and arranges the celebration. In order not to cause a stir, Yasmin Roro accompanies Roro on the way to Lisa and poses as his cousin. By chance, Måns gets into an unfortunate situation: a man asks him to take care of his dog Rambo for five minutes. This escapes, and Måns has to flee from the angry dog owner. Lisa, Roro and Yasmin fork up Måns and all four drive to a lake. While Roro and Lisa are having fun, Måns is talking to Yasmin.
The next day the angry dog owner suddenly appears again with three companions and follows Måns and Roro on foot. The two narrowly escape and lose sight of each other. Måns suddenly sees his girlfriend sitting in the café with another man. He beats him up. On the run from his pursuers again, he meets Yasmin on a park bench, who then tends his wounds. They smile at each other. Meanwhile, Roro argues heatedly with Yasmin's brother Paul, who then tells him that he told Lisa about the marriage. On the way Paul sees Yasmin and Måns on the park bench, beats Måns and takes Yasmin with him in the car. Paul and Roro's father are still determined to marry Roro and Yasmin. Desperate, Måns throws furniture out of the window while Roro tries to get into Lisa's apartment through the rain gutter. The police arrest them both and put them in jail for one night.
The next day the final preparations for the wedding are made. Måns rushes to Yasmin just beforehand to tell her that he loves her, but Yasmin sees no other way out than to get married. Roro goes to Lisa again, who at first doesn't want to forgive him. When he proposes to her, she comes along anyway. To everyone's astonishment, Roro explains to the wedding guests that he doesn't love Yasmin and instead wants to be with Lisa. He also explains that Yasmin is in love with Måns. Paul gets angry, a fight begins and the two couples run out of the building. Roro's father has an understanding, gives Roro the car key and says goodbye to him. The four drive away together.
Reviews
- "Fares cleverly mixes the seriousness of generation conflicts and tradition constraints in two Lebanese families with the laissez-faire reggae-influenced comedies of the 80s, and lets it all collide in a sunny Sweden."
- “The story continues happily, the various narrative strands are carelessly cut together. Only the girls stay a bit pale, but maybe this weakness has to be forgiven for an otherwise thoroughly sympathetic boy’s film. "
- "Friendship, love and the conflicts of cultures and generations are staged easily, fast-paced and with a lot of sense of comedy, whereby the film impresses above all with precise timing, witty dialogues and a variety of cinematic means of expression."
-
" Yeah! Yeah! 's charm is due largely to the naturalness of the actors, […] It's also refreshingly free of grand socio-political statements, choosing instead to tell a lighthearted, feel-good story. ”
( Jalla! Jalla! has its charm above all Thanks to the naturalness of the actors ... the film is also free of weighty socio-political statements, because it rather wants to tell a happy feel-good story.)
Others
- Lukas Moodysson worked with Lars Jönsson as executive producer on the film.
- Although the characters of Lebanese origin depicted in the film can clearly be recognized as Christians (among other things by the cross chains worn), they were often perceived as Muslims. For example, the film on the subject of "Islam and Modernity" was shown in the "Islam-Cinema" series of the Federal Agency for Civic Education , which was supposed to show "everyday Muslim life from within".
