Seriously funny?

Warning: Spoilers
Here's a film that snook through the cracks. Telling the tale of a Palestinian fisherman who inadvertently catches a pig when fishing one day. The amusing anecdotes that follow him as he desperately tries to get rid of/kill/sell the pig, all to no avail until coming across a young Jewish woman in camp on the boarder, to whom he enters into a financial agreement. Things further drift down hill for him as he is seconded into becoming a suicide bomber against his will, again not successfully. Most of this is achieved in an easy light going matter, but it also conveys the serious complete stupidity of the conflict between two peoples who hate each other for no good sustainable reason. An idea which surpasses just the Jewish Palestinian subject of this film.
