It seems like a straightforward home movie, but we promise Jonathan is anything but. Rather, it is an impossibly prescient piece of filmmaking whose seeming simplicity belies its narrative power.Jonathan tells the story of a little boy who wants to dress up as the Little Mermaid for Purim, and you wouldn't think you could care so much about whether or not he gets to fulfill his dream. Jonathan makes us think again about what little boys are made of.
