Redemption

Orthodox Jew Menachem fears for the life of his little daughter Geula. The girl is seriously ill and the widower cannot afford the expensive therapy. Menachem sees only one possibility: to reactivate his old band. But his former bandmates are just as far removed from the old rock 'n' roll days as Menachem is. And can that even go well - an Orthodox religious frontman? "When a child's life is worth more than religious dogma: this Israeli drama is a moving and powerful film about a father's unconditional love." (Filmfest Hamburg)
