Footnote
“Pride, envy, vanity… How far would you go for recognition?”
Comedy
Jerusalem, Israel. Professors Eliezer and Uriel Shkolnik, father and son, have dedicated their lives to the study of the Jewish scriptures. Eliezer is a stubborn and methodical scholar who has never been recognized for his work; Uriel is a rising star, someone admired and praised by his colleagues. The fragile balance that has kept their personal relationship almost intact is broken in an unexpected way by a simple phone call.
VIBE
A dry, intellectual comedy exploring the complex relationship between a father and son, both scholars of Jewish scripture. It's a film filled with sharp wit and underlying familial tension, set against the backdrop of academic prestige and personal ambition.
