About the film:
World Premiere, Sundance Film Festival 2024.
Ben is a forty-something cantor losing his voice and possibly his faith. Struggling to meet the expectations of his rabbi, congregation, and not one but two Jewish mothers, Ben finds his world turned upside down when his grade school music teacher re-enters his life as an adult bat mitzvah student.
“[Dir. Nathan] Silver makes you feel as if you’re in the presence of real people, haunted by real ghosts, trying to make a go of it.”
—Chuck Bowen, Slant Magazine
