SUMMARY
Coco, a 40-year old immigrant who started with nothing, is the perfect Sephardi success story. As his son Samuels bar mitzvah nears, he plans a spectacular party with 2,000 guests. But as he becomes overly involved in the preparations that include stadiums and large-scale concerts, he fails to see that his family is slowly drifting apart. COCO, based on a character sketch he created for his one-man show, La Vie Normale, is Gad Elmaleh at his best.
