Being able to care for a gravely ill daughter is of the utmost importance to a loving father. The treatment which is to give the child a new chance at life is something the poorly paid widower simply can’t afford. The idea to start performing again with a rock band from his early days, however, sees the devout man confronting not only those around him but – above all – himself as well.


Synopsis

Seven-year-old Geula is everything to Menachem, a member of the Orthodox Jewish community. However, his daughter needs medical treatment which the poorly paid widower simply can’t afford. One possibility of raising the money is to persuade friends from his rock ’n’ roll past to re-form the rock band he fronted in his early days. Yet years have passed since that time and not only has his life completely changed but so have the ambitions of each of his long-time friends. After an absence of five years Joseph Madmony and Boaz Y. Yacov return to the Karlovy Vary festival with a story about unconditional parental love, the strength of male friendship, and the importance of inner integrity. An understated, gentle, and concise film that conveys the finest of emotions and draws its characters with a meticulous hand.
