UK PREMIERE
Writer: Haim Marin
Language: Hebrew with English subtitles
On the death of his mother, Gadi, who has special needs has to move in with the father who abandoned him when he was a young child. Convinced he has no room in his life for this responsibility, Reuben, performed with a gruff charm by Doval’e Glickman, grudgingly learns to love and respect his 38-year-old son, played by Nevo Kimchi in a sensitive, multi-faceted performance.
When Gadi finds out that his father’s kidneys are failing, he is blocked by a transplant committee which doesn’t believe he has the capacity to make the decision to donate one of his own kidneys. He sets out to fight for his right to save his father’s life.
The director Jacob Goldwasser has a son with special needs, and the film raises challenging questions about our attitudes to disability.

ABOUT SERET UK 2019
SERET UK 2019 is back from April 29th to May 12th, and will be hitting cinema screens in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Brighton, and, for the first time, Cambridge, bringing the best in contemporary Israeli film and TV.
The SERET Festivals are the only festivals dedicated entirely to Israeli productions, but this year, we have added a new element to our programmes, selecting some excellent films made by leading Israeli directors who are working world-wide.
Our 2019 programme is richly diverse, covering the broad scope of secular and religious life amongst all of Israel’s communities. Our selected films and documentaries comment on the plight of ‘the other’ through examining immigration, sexual transition and disability. We have chosen films which examine fatherhood and family trauma with heart and soul; which open the lid on suppressed political intrigues, which share religious and spiritual journeys, and which demonstrate the effects of the wars of yesterday and today.
Come see for yourself.
