Ave Maria 4 Yaps Five nuns in the West Bank are enjoying their evening meal in proscribed silence when trouble comes knocking — literally. A family of Jews has crashed their car into their statue of the Virgin and need help. They're a stereotypical group of fast-talking folks who trade insults freely. The man blames his mother and her incontinence for the crash, which has come on the cusp of Shabbat, when Jews are not allowed to operate modern machinery. His wife hectors him mercilessly, and the elderly woman screams at them both. The nuns must break their vow of silence in order to offer help ... reluctantly, at least at first. A funny and wry take on a volatile part of the world.
