San Joaquin Film Festival 2008

Israel's answer to Billy Elliot and Mad Hot Ballroom, and from the Producers of A Band's Visit, this is an irresistible film about a young boy caught in the clashing crossroads between his Russian-born mother and Israeli father. When infatuation leads him to take ballroom dancing lessons, our unlikely hero uses the Waltz and the Cha Cha to bridge the culture gap of his fractured family.
