Capitol Theatre | Drama | 85 Minutes | Hungarian/Hebrew
Having shown few Hungarian films over the years, we are happy to present this poignant and bittersweet drama set in contemporary Budapest, which follows a Jewish family from estrangement to reconciliation. Tamas', a generous but crusty boxing coach, gets along well with everyone except his own son. When Tamas' beloved wife dies unexpectedly, he agrees to let his son sit Shiva in his house, as long as he brings his young grandson, Ariel. Father and son face their old grievances and differences during Shiva. Meanwhile, Ariel's grief, masterfully portrayed by a tremendous child actor, takes the form of an obsession that his beloved grandmother's spirit is still in the house.
With warmth, humour, and wisdom offered by those around them, the journey from sorrow to healing and reconciliation is completed in this poignant and heart-warming film.
