ABOUT THE FILM

Directed by Herschel Faber
USA | 95 minutes | English

After losing his mother, 13-year-old Ethan finds solace in the Catholic church – a refuge that feels like home, even though he was born into a Jewish family. When his father insists on a bar mitzvah and Ethan's secret unravels at his girlfriend's confirmation party, the young seeker must confront the lies he's told and the grief he's been running from. Through the wisdom of an unconventional rabbi, the love of his complicated family, and his first romance with a cowboy-boot-wearing girl who can put him in a headlock, Ethan discovers that faith isn't about choosing sides – it's about honoring all the messy, beautiful pieces of who we are.
