Screening Time – Thursday, Nov 19th @ 6pm

A transfixing depiction of a crisis of faith that claimed the top honours at Jerusalem Film Festival. Haim-Aaron, an Ultra- Orthodox Jewish scholar lives in Jerusalem. After collapsing from a self-imposed fast he is pronounced dead by paramedics but astonishingly his father resuscitates him. Subsequently, Haim- Aaron, overwhelmed by his re-awakening, suspects that God is testing him and begins to stray from the prescribed path in an attempt to explore his own existence. The community disapprove of his strange new behaviour whilst his father, tormented by guilt that he has gone against God’s will, has visions that he should kill his son.
