Description
Touching the heartstrings and tickling the funny bone, this French dramedy follows the eccentric friendship between an emotionally troubled man and rebellious teen, two misfits seeking self-acceptance. A loving husband but tortured soul, Simon escapes a psychiatric ward to return to his pregnant wife Rivka, a rabbi and Hebrew teacher. When her 13-year-old student Théodore runs away from his broken family on his Bar Mitzvah day, Simon impulsively gives chase. Aimlessly roaming the cold streets of Paris, the father-to-be and teen form a bond of mutual need. As Théodore seeks reconciliation with his absentee dad and fretting single mom, and Simon desperate to prove his capacity to love, their misadventures peak in poignant and unexpected ways. Together, the two learn that caring for one another can often be easier than caring for yourself. Preceded by the short film Miriam (6 min.)
