A Sephardic Baalei Teshuva family tries to integrate within the insular Ashkenazi Haredi community in Bnei Brak. Their son Raphael, a prodigy, is not accepted into a prestigious yeshiva. His mother, Ahuva, tries to handle the situation peacefully, but his father, Shmuel, a handyman with great faith, struggles to accept the situation. Shmuel fights to change this decree, leading to the family’s ostracization and their children’s expulsion from local institutions. A dramatic event shakes both the family and Haredi society, probing their shared faith. The film explores the struggles of Baalei Teshuva, their faith, their escape from the past, and the personal cost of their journey.

The movie was clearly made with passion and conviction but it's unfortunately half baked.I get the premise, it was interesting halfway but the second half is a let down.The movie feels lost and unable to focus on one character, which leads it to lose the focus for them all.
Loved watching a movie that actually captured orthodox Jewish cultural correctly. Saw at Miami Jewish Festival
