Within Brooklyn's ultra-orthodox Jewish community, a widower battles for custody of his son. Shot entirely in Yiddish, the film explores the nature of faith and the price of parenthood. A warm-hearted and impressively authentic feature film debut by documentary filmmaker Joshua Weinstein about a universal conflict in the midst of a segregated community. He spent two years filming it with real Haredim (ultra-Orthodox) in Borough Park in Brooklyn, New York - the largest Hasidic community outside of Israel. For his courage he is celebrated worldwide at festivals and in the press.
