From the creator of Shtisel (BJFF2016), a dystopian thriller set after a brutal civil war that left Israel divided with Tel Aviv as its secular capital and Jerusalem as an Orthodox “Haredi Autonomy.” When a custody battle breaks out around the granddaughter of The Rebbe of Kreinitz (Shuli Rand, Ushpizin, BJFF 2005), peace between the two regions is put in jeopardy. For Broide, a wheeler-dealer in the Autonomy who smuggles contraband between the two regions, a job kidnapping the little girl throws his own life into disarray.
Introduction by Dr. Shayna Weiss, Associate Director of the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies at Brandeis University.
Screening as part of the TLV TV Binge.
