Return of a Festival favorite. A 7 year-old Irish girl can’t wait for her communion, but she’s not the right religion!
Overview
- In this touching and often humorous film, a retired Jewish boxer in Hungary must sit shiva with his estranged Orthodox son from Israel after his wife dies. The father is fiercely stubborn and anti-religious. The grown son harbors resentments. The son brings his adorable little boy, who meets his gruff Grandpa for the first time. This charming, beautifully acted film celebrates what unites us versus what divides.
