Brothers Dan and Aaron meet in Israel after many years apart, only to discover how different they have become. Dan is a secular Jew living on a kibbutz, while Aaron is an Orthodox lawyer and Torah scholar from the U.S. who has come to Israel to fight a court case. The conflict between the brothers is echoed in the legal battle, which highlights the issue of separation of state and religion in modern Israel. A fascinating argument that will certainly provoke discussion!
