The tragic story of an Ultra Orthodox family.  The film enters into the inner world of the believer faced with the silence of God. The story unfolds during three days of preparations for a longed-for trip to the Dead Sea, during an intimate and poetic journey to the protagonist’s world and the wishes of his followers – the mother and son. The film’s plot is a variation on the story of the Binding of Isaac and chronicles events that lead to the inevitable. The film corresponds with Krzysztof Kieslowski’s first episode in the Dekalog series, “I am the Lord thy God.” It allows us a rare glimpse into a specific Ultra Orthodox Lithuanian culture that has become more and more elitist and exclusive and has produced great leaders of the Jewish Ultra Orthodox community both in Israel and around the world.
