Synopsis: The Best Man's Wedding (Jalla! Jalla!) is a comedy about the romantic problems of two best friends. Måns, bald-shaven but presumably born blonde, and Roro born in Lebanon, are in their 20s and working together for the parks department. Roro is crazy about his Swedish girlfriend but has long delayed introducing her to his alarmingly traditional family. Just as he's about to take the plunge, they announce that they've arranged his marriage to a Lebanese-Swedish girl. The beautiful bride-to-be is as appalled as he is, but asks him to go along with the engagement so that she won't be sent back to the old country. Misunderstandings ensue until the entire cast is assembled for a hilariously improbable showdown.
