Description
An intimate and deeply disturbing story of the conflict between a father's love and his deep devotion to religion. A respected Orthodox Rabbi (Assi Dayan, Israel's leading actor/director featured in Time of Favor) dotes on his only son but his religious strictures leave an emotional gap between the impish child and the stern father. When the father's all-consuming obsession with observing religious ritual inadvertently leads to tragedy, his previously subservient wife rages against both her husband and God. A dramatic retelling of the story or Abraham & Isaac with a devastating "twist." Written and directed by David Volach. (Fully subtitled)
