Pride, envy, vanity… How far would you go for recognition?

A darkly comic exploration of professional rivalry, paternal resentment, and the corrosive effects of recognition-seeking within an intellectually rigorous father-son relationship.

Jerusalem, Israel. Professors Eliezer and Uriel Shkolnik, father and son, have dedicated their lives to the study of the Jewish scriptures. Eliezer is a stubborn and methodical scholar who has never been recognized for his work; Uriel is a rising star, someone admired and praised by his colleagues. The fragile balance that has kept their personal relationship almost intact is broken in an unexpected way by a simple phone call.
