It is difficult enough for any teenager (male or female each consisting of their own difficulties) but when you add to the complexity the centuries long religious beliefs of the Jewish faith and the expectations of parents towards their own flesh and blood then this film is a must see for most people regardless of your faith and/or religion.
Two young men growing up just blocks away from each other with strong influences of their respective Jewish fathers religious and political beliefs come to terms with each others unique circumstances.
Add to the mix the young male hormones, a devout Jewish faith and century old traditions and you have the makings of an ultimate clash where decisions become life changing as which is what happens in this dramatic film well worth seeing.
Great acting, great story, and a realistic ending which provides all of us with some insight into how both our family and friends can influence our life changing decisions sometimes.
I give this film a rewarding 8 out of 10 IMDb rating.
