Program Description:All about the Levkoviches (2024), directed by Ádám Breier, 1 hr. 25 min., Drama
A generous but stubborn boxing coach, Tamás, gets along well with everyone but his own son. They have not spoken since the boy, Iván, moved to Israel and became religious in an orthodox community. When Tamás’s beloved wife, Zsuzsa, dies unexpectedly, Tamás agrees with his son that he can come and sit shibah 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.
