A beautifully heartfelt and quietly joyous film featuring a breathtaking performance by Israel’s renowned actor, Sasson Gabay (Karaoke, The Band’s Visit), who stars as Shimon, a 70-year-old widower travelling from Israel to Paris to see a childhood friend. During his visit, he stays with his only daughter (Israeli rising star Sivan Levy), who lives with her husband and their infant son. As he settles in, Shimon becomes aware of the impending dissolution of their marriage. Fueled by deep love for his daughter, he tries to offer his help, leading to a journey of self-discovery in which they share both their dreams and desires that they had never expressed before.
Presented by the William & Irene Weinberg Family Baltimore Jewish Film Institute as part of Midday Movies: Food, Flicks & Friends, a new film appreciation series exploring films of Jewish interest, with enlightening discussions with filmmakers and scholars and casual conversation with other film enthusiasts. Kosher lunch provided.
