Review

David Volach’s debut feature—a hit at Tribeca Film Festival 2007—chronicles the tragic events that unfold when a happy young Israeli boy starts to question the ultra-Orthodox teachings of his religion, sending his father, a rabbi, into a tailspin of religious furor that threatens to tear the family apart.
