Usher in the High Holy Days with us on Selichot
Film: Schwartz Dynasty
This bittersweet comedy sees two women with loved ones to bury join forces in a struggle against cemetery politics in Israel. The story revolves around Miryam who goes against tradition by demanding to be buried next to her disgraced husband, and Ana who must honor her deceased father’s wishes by proving that he was Jewish.
The idea of family preservation is strong in the film and the feeling that the past carries on in both the present and future is seen a number of times throughout the film. The end is thought-provoking and is greatly enhanced by the intersecting images of the synagogue during Yom Kippur.
