Kiss Me Kosher (alternate title: Kiss Me Before It Blows Up) is a 2020 German–Israeli film directed and scripted by Venezuelan-born, Israel-raised and German-based Shirel Peleg.[1] The story is based on the true-life love story of Peleg and her partner[2][3] and is Peleg's debut feature-length film as a director.[4]
The film is about an Israeli woman named Shira (played by Moran Rosenblatt), and a German woman named Maria (played by Luise Wolfram), who through an initial misunderstanding become engaged to be married in Jerusalem. Shira's grandmother, Berta (played by Rivka Michaeli) tries to prevent this. Kiss Me Kosher started in German cinemas on September 10, 2020, and has since been playing in several international film festivals.[5][6][7][8][9]
