All About the Levkoviches

About the Film
Generous but stubborn boxing coach, Tamás, gets along well with everyone but his own son. They have not spoken since Iván moved to Israel and became religious in an orthodox community. When Tamás’ beloved wife, Zsuzsa, dies unexpectedly, Tamas agrees with his son that he can come and sit the Shiva in his house as long as he brings his grandson, Ariel, with him. As past conflicts resurface, they embark on an unexpected journey of self-reflection and reconciliation. Father and son are not just obliged to face their old grievances during the one-week religious mourning but to help Ariel deal with his own grief and his obsession that grandma’s spirit is still in the house.

“Told with delightfully mordant humor and a genuine warmth … masterfully acted and directed, maintaining a perfectly balanced tone between comedy and pathos.”
