“Briskly paced and threaded throughout with wry humour, Zarhin’s film asks us to confront our own ideas around identity and walking the emotional tightrope between lies and truth.” (TIFF)
In the wake of their mother’s death, three Jewish Israeli siblings happen upon some startling news—their mother’s ex-husband, the man who raised them, the man who they call “Father,” is not related to them biologically. The man they believed to be their father, played by the divine Sasson Gabai, joins their search for the mysterious Muslim the siblings learn is their real father. The beloved writer/director Shemi Zarhin (Aviva My Love) has created a wonderfully paced, entertaining film, spiced with wry humor, that asks us to confront our own ideas around identity and walking the emotional tightrope between lies and truth.
