IMHO REVIEW :
just finished watching this movie - it's a drama that'll make you feel good. the story revolves around a jewish holiday of 'Succoth' which is celebrated for 7 days in a 'sukkot' or a temporary shack of both deprivation and hospitality.

the story follows a couple who are broke. they pray for a miracle - which comes with unexpected guests. the term 'Ushpizin' observe the custom of inviting seven spiritual "guests" to their sukkot, needless to say the couple can not turn their unexpected guests away.

what follows is a wonderful story of prayer, faith, kindness and generosity. the kindness shown in this movie is amazing - i would love to be a part of a community like the one depicted in this movie.

great story - feel good movie. it's also a wonderful insight into a culture / holiday.
