After scraping by in New York for many years, Moshe is finally starting to gain recognition as a poet who recites his texts in a Manhattan bar. The sudden confrontation with his son, whom he abandoned 21 years ago in his native Israel, forces him to re-examine his life and face up to the sins of his past. A raw yet tender film about a father and his son, and about the elusive quest for redemption. ()
