Overview

Jerusalem, Israel. Professors Eliezer and Uriel Shkolnik, father and son, have dedicated their lives to the study of the Jewish scriptures. Eliezer is a stubborn and methodical scholar who has never been recognized for his work; Uriel is a rising star, someone admired and praised by his colleagues. The fragile balance that has kept their personal relationship almost intact is broken in an unexpected way by a simple phone call.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A darkly comic examination of professional jealousy and unresolved family resentment between a renowned scholar and his overlooked father, sharpened by the Jewish intellectual world's obsession with legacy and credit. It's a small film with a cutting edge, funny and devastating in equal measure.
