21st TDF: Greek Premiere

Bnei Brak, a city near Tel Aviv, world capital of Ultra-Orthodox Jews. A land of prayer, steadfast commitment to Jewish Law and tradition, cut off from modern life. A land where dark secrets remain secure in the fog of faith. An agonizing return to homeland, full of bitterness rather than nostalgia. Addressing the sensitive subject of child abuse in a closed community, this brave documentary introduces us to a courageous man, who decides to confront his past head-on and find the kind of answers and acceptance that might give him peace.
