Smell and Smile

The film follows Igor, a Russian immigrant who is drafted into the Israeli army reserve service. His journey takes a comical turn when his commanders discover that his flatulent issues can be used to their advantage in a rather unconventional way. This premise sets the stage for a series of humorous situations that highlight both the challenges and absurdities of military life.

Featuring performances by Yehuda Barkan and Gabi Amrani, Smell and Smile offers a blend of cultural commentary and slapstick humor. It captures the comedic spirit of the 1980s while addressing themes of immigration and identity. Collectors of international comedies from this era may find it an interesting addition to their collection, given its unique storyline and cultural context.
