Summary

17-year-old ASHER has always been the impulsive troublemaker. It's hard for him to concentrate in class, and he is compelled by a lot of rage and violence; yet he is also endowed with a considerable amount of charm and street wisdom. While his strict father sees him as a natural successor to the family's scaffolding business, Asher finds a different masculine role model in his literature teacher and forges a special connection with him. Torn between the two worlds, Asher looks for a chance for a new life and new identity. When a sudden tragedy occurs, he has to take the ultimate test of maturity. Winner of Best Supporting Actor and nominated for seven other awards at the **Awards of the Israeli Film Academy**. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival.** *"A fully absorbing character study of who the system is most likely to fail when promise is stoked, but not followed through on." - Robert Abele, **The Los Angeles Times***
