Jalla! Jalla!

Although Roro is deeply in love with his present girlfriend Lisa, happiness for the couple is hanging by a thread because of the future that the boy’s parents have in mind for his affective life. They have decided that their son is to marry Lebanese Yasmin to safeguard the girl’s family from having to return to the Lebanon. Roro has not the slightest idea of who Yasmin might be; however, when he learns of the story of the Lebanese girl and her family, he becomes interested in the situation. Roro has only one week to decide whether, for the sake of solidarity, he accepts marriage to Yasmin, or whether to continue with his relationship with Lisa. At the same time, he finds that a great friend is going through difficult times. Mans, who works with Roro in a city park, is in anguish because he can not have an erection during intercourse. Jalla! Jalla! (somewhat like “Let’s Get On With It”) proves a lesson of optimism within adversity.
