Redemption
New York Jewish Film Festival 2019
January 9 - 22, 2019
Once the front man of a popular rock band, Menachem is now deeply religious. When his six-year-old daughter is diagnosed with cancer, he gets the band back together for a reunion tour to pay the bills.
Q&As with Boaz Yehonatan Yacov
Menachem used to be the front man of a popular rock band, but now he is deeply religious and the father of a six-year-old girl. When she is diagnosed with cancer, the treatments are too expensive for the poor widower, and he decides to get the band back together for a reunion tour. What he initially thought would be a practical solution turns into a soul-searching journey as he reopens old wounds and reconnects with his secular past. The title alludes to Menachem’s confrontation with these two major chapters and identities—only a renewed connection to his music will allow him to redeem himself, save his daughter, and move forward with a new life.
