Menachem, a middle-aged widower, lives a devoutly religious life in Israel on meager wages as a grocery store clerk… but his life wasn’t always this way. Decades before, he was the lead singer in a successful Israeli rock band with a beautiful wife he loved deeply. Now, 15 years later, after his daughter Geuda (Hebrew for Redemption) is diagnosed with the same cancer that took his wife, Menachem must find a way to pay for the expensive treatments to save her life. In an attempt to make extra money, he reaches out to his old band mates, pitching the idea of getting the band back together to play at Jewish weddings. As in many bands, egos will clash and competing desires and priorities will create messy obstacles, but the journey may just lead Menachem and his friends to REDEMPTION in more ways than one. (In Hebrew with subtitles) —G.S.
