Film Details

In this gripping and surprising new drama, Anat (Naama Preis), a concert pianist who has failed to live up to the expectations of her competitive, musically accomplished family, takes desperate measures to assure that her newborn son does not grow up to do the same. "This stylish first feature negotiates its themes—the overlap between parental ambition and borderline abuse, what it means to be labeled ‘gifted’—with the same control and precision that Anat and her family bring to their chosen profession...The result is genuinely impressive: this is storytelling which is as enigmatic as it is compelling.” –Screen Daily. Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. 80 min.
