CLOSING NIGHT SCREENING
Menachem was the lead singer of a hit rock band before leaving everything behind to become religious. But when his 7-year-old daughter, Geula, becomes ill, Menachem comes up with a creative solution to fund the expensive treatments: getting the old band back together – as a Jewish wedding band. Reuniting with his old bandmates, Menachem struggles as he tries to harmonize his religious beliefs with the allure of music. Redemption exudes a rare wisdom regarding the choices we make to uphold our convictions, let go of the past, and embrace an uncertain future with an open heart.
