KADDISH FOR A FRIEND
Inspired by a true-life story, this is a tragicomic story about friendship, trust and the art of forgiveness amidst an ancient conflict. Fourteen-year-old Ali grew up in a Palestinian refugee camp where he learned to hate Jews at an early age. After escaping Lebanon, he and his family end up in Berlin's Kreuzberg area. Wanting to fit in and be accepted by the local gang, he helps them vandalize the apartment of a Russian Jewish neighbor. To avoid deportation, he is forced to help the neighbor repair the damage. This is not your typical film that explores the relationship between a sour, cranky old man and an impressionable, confused youth. This film transcends clichéd themes as the pivotal relationship rises above the deep ethnic and religious divisions between Jews and Arabs.
"...a genuine and moving coming-of-age story." Loren King, The Boston Globe
