PRAYING WITH LIOR - A film by Ilana Trachtman, NR, 85 min
Lior has Down
syndrome, and has spent his entire life praying with utter abandon. Is he a
spiritual genius as many around him say? Or simply the vessel that contains
everyones unfulfilled wishes and expectations? Lior whose name
means my light lost his mother at age six, and her words and spirit
hover over the film. While everyone agrees Lior is closer to God, hes also
a burden, a best friend, an inspiration, and an embarrassment, depending
on which family member is speaking. As Lior approaches Bar Mitzvah, the
Jewish coming-of-age ceremony different characters provides a window into life spent praying with Lior. The movie poses difficult questions such as what is disability and who really talks to God? Told with intimacy and humor, Praying With Lior is a family story, a triumph story, a grief story, a divinely-inspired story.
