Little does he know it but for J, a lovable 25-year-old slacker, reality is about to become hair-raisingly complicated. To his own surprise and the highly vocal disgust of his eccentric Jewish family and long-suffering girlfriend, J finds out that his life’s dream has come true: he has qualified as a contestant for the Nintendo World Cup games. There’s only one problem: the games take place during Passover. And now J must choose: does he play the game and lose the love of his family and partner? Or is there perhaps some way he can win both? Bit by Bit never misses, offering a fresh take on Jewish High Holiday and family mishegas, Swedish style.

Special Guest, Director, Jonathan Metzger
