Meschugge: The Giraffe

From the people who brought you Run Lola Run comes a nail-biting thriller of mistaken identity that will keep your tuchas on the edge of its seat. An elderly Jewish woman is found dead in the corridor of a New York hotel.  During the police investigation, her son played by director Dani Levy meets a ravishing German woman seemingly involved in the mysterious circumstances of his mother’s death. Their mutual attraction grows as the plot thickens.  Suspense and suspicion threaten to undermine their relationship as they uncover a crime that tragically links their families.
