BJFF: The Ring

Wine & Mead Tasting
Arrive early for a festive wine and mead tasting with Rachel Lipman from Loew Vineyards before the screening. Loew Vineyards is a five-generation family winery and meadery rooted in 19th-century meadmaking traditions in Eastern Europe and revived in Maryland in 1982 by Holocaust survivor William Loew and his wife, Lois. Built as a tribute to both family heritage and resilience, the estate continues to produce handcrafted wines and meads that honor this legacy. Today, Loew Vineyards is also proud to be Maryland’s first Kosher winery, uniting centuries-old tradition with modern winemaking.

About the Film
Arnon Noble is a religious man with a strong bond to his mother, a Holocaust survivor. He usually drives her to school lectures where she tells the students how she saved the lives of her baby boy and herself with the help of a thin gold ring.  When the mother’s health deteriorates, he travels to her old hometown, Budapest to search for the mythological ring that saved her life in the past. He turns for help to his estranged daughter who is a TV researcher and offers her to go on this journey together. Will the search for the ring be successful? Will the ring save the mother’s life again and will the same ring that saved his mother also succeed in saving Arnon’s relationship with his own daughter?

A heart-warming dramedy about three generations and the family history that reconnects them, The Ring is based on Adir Miller’s Holocaust survival story.
