Synopsis

Jalla! Jalla!, which is arabic for “hurry! hurry!”, takes place in the hot days of summer. Roro and Måns are two best friends who work as park attendants, scooping dog-poop from the flowerbeds and thinking of themselves as the coolest of the crop. But everything is not as it seems, Måns is having potency problems and Roro… When Roro finally is about to dare to introduce his Swedish girlfriend to his, as he fears, traditional family he walks into a flat full of people planning for his arranged marriage to a sweet girl, who’d else get sent back to Lebanon. Whilst he is busy balancing keeping up appearances to help her, stalling the wedding plans and maintaining the relationship with his unknowing girlfriend, Måns is trying to fix his problem, using all kinds of methods. –IMDb
