It is a bittersweet story of a weak widower who battles the rabbis for custody of his son in the Chassidic community of Brooklyn’s Borough Park. It ultimately explores the nature of faith and the price of parenthood.
“What makes the film so engaging is the thoroughness with which it humanizes and renders accessible the hermetic Hasidic community of Borough Park, Brooklyn. The unselfconscious performances of the nonprofessional cast are a winning element.”
