_SHOELACES
Nominated for eight Israeli Academy Awards including Best Picture,
Shoelaces_ tells the gently comic story of a complicated relationship
between an aging father and his special-needs adult son. Reuven’s
(_Doval’e Glickman,_ _Shtisel_) kidneys are failing and his son Gadi
(_Nevo Kimchi,_ _Footnote,_ _Restoration_) wants to donate one of his
own to help save his father’s life. However, the transplant
committee objects, claiming that Reuven, acting as Gadi’s sole legal
guardian after the recent passing of his mom, does not have the right
to authorize such an invasive procedure. Afraid of losing his father
as well, Gadi feels he finally has the chance to do something
meaningful and stand on his own, and he sets out to fight for his
right to save his father’s life. Co-starring Yafit Asulin (The
Women’s Balcony_) and Evelin Hagoel (_A Matter of Size, _The
Women’s Balcony_), _Shoelaces_ is a heartwarming story full of love,
life and human connection.
