A new comedy by Daniel Lapin starring Avi Kushnir. What happens when a single discovery can shake your entire life?
Or Auslander, a literature teacher and exemplary family man, accidentally discovers one day that his recently deceased mother... was not Jewish after all. What initially seems to be an unfortunate bureaucratic error quickly turns into a fact that overturns his entire perception of himself. Coincidence? Or has a well-hidden secret been lurking at the very heart of the family for many years?
To get to the truth, Or embarks on a wild journey — through the corridors of the rabbinate, mysterious family secrets, and an unexpected séance. This is a witty, subtle, and touching comedy about the search for identity, family, belonging... and what happens when everything you thought you knew about yourself suddenly collapses.
Starring: Avi Kushnir, Rada Kantrovich, Efrat Arnon, Tom Zeidner, and others.
