WINTERFEST 2019 | Redemption (Geula)

Menachem, a widowed father of seven-year-old Geula, is a former rock singer. Years ago he found religion and left everything behind to become part of the Ultraorthodox Jewish community. Now, in order to finance Geula's cancer treatments, he needs to enlist friends from his rock n' roll past to play at Ultraorthodox Jewish weddings. Each one of them is now in a different place and a different state of mind, yet they all follow him in order to help his daughter. Against his will, he finds himself getting closer and closer to his past, until his former group members want to revive their rock band. This is his secret desire yet his biggest fear. With Geula's help, he finds the road to his redemption and reconciles his past. Expertly directed by Joseph Madmony (A Place in Heaven, Restoration).
