Late Marriage

Here's my rephrased version:

Zaza, a 31-year-old PhD student torn between two worlds - his Georgian heritage and Israeli upbringing - finds himself caught in a delicate web of family expectations and personal desires. His parents, Yasha and Lili, are determined to secure his future by introducing him to potential brides within the Georgian community, with little regard for Zaza's own feelings or opinions. One such prospect is Ilana, a 17-year-old high school student who, despite being an attractive match on paper, fails to impress Zaza.

After dropping off his parents at their apartment building, Zaza takes a solitary drive to a pay phone and connects with Judith (34), a free-spirited Moroccan-Israeli divorcée he's been secretly dating. The couple's passion is palpable as they share an intimate moment of physical connection, marked by an unflinching realism that strips away any romanticized notion of their relationship.

Meanwhile, Zaza's parents are left to spend the night at the home of their relatives, Simon and Margalit, after realizing they've forgotten the house key. It becomes apparent to Yasha that his son is not at a friend's place, but rather with someone else - someone his family deems unacceptable. Judith's past divorce, her child, and her age all serve as strikes against her in the eyes of Zaza's parents.

As tensions escalate, Zaza's relatives take matters into their own hands, staking out Judith's apartment building with the intention of confronting the couple and intimidating Judith into abandoning the relationship. Their efforts culminate in a dramatic confrontation at Judith's doorstep, where Simon brandishes a decorative sword to emphasize his disapproval.

The once-passionate connection between Zaza and Judith falters in the face of familial pressure. When Zaza returns to Judith's apartment, he's met with a cold shoulder and a definitive rejection. The aftermath of this confrontation sees Zaza facing off against his parents at home, grappling with the consequences of his choices and the weight of their expectations.

As the passage of time elapses, Zaza's parents make a triumphant return to Judith's apartment building, their presence a harbinger of change. Upon her arrival home, Lili intercepts Judith, bearing a teddy bear as a gesture of goodwill, while Yasha remains patiently waiting in the car. The tension inside the apartment is palpable as Lili inquires about Zaza's whereabouts, only to be met with an initial denial from Judith. However, as the conversation unfolds, Judith's composure falters, and she eventually reveals that Zaza has been beseeching her to marry him, a confession that ultimately leads her to conclude that his love for Madona (Judith) is unwavering. Her decision to reject him stems from the disturbing realization that "he loves you more than me," a stark reminder that some bonds are better left unbound.

Meanwhile, in the vehicle, Yasha turns to Lili with a proposal: should they accept Judith as Zaza's prospective bride? Lili, now empathizing with Judith's plight, advises caution, suggesting that they wait and observe if Zaza will eventually overcome his fixation on Madona.

The narrative shifts gears as the camera cuts to Zaza and Yasha standing side by side at a public restroom, their presence a stark contrast to the joyous atmosphere of Zaza's wedding reception. It becomes evident that Zaza has indulged in one too many drinks, his inebriation reflected in his slurred speech. As he stumbles back into the reception hall, Lili (Madona) stands awkwardly by his side, her unease a palpable presence.

Zaza's rambling speech eventually gives way to an astonishing declaration: "I have a woman on the side more beautiful than my wife." He then drags Simon onto the stage, prompting Simon to reveal Zaza's mother as his secret lover. This unexpected twist serves to diffuse the tension, allowing Zaza and Lili to share a heartfelt embrace.

As the credits roll, Zaza and his new bride join in the festivities with the rest of his family, their dance an ironic conclusion to this tumultuous tale of unrequited love.
