Details

Based on a true story, writer Bean makes his directorial debut with this startlingly personal drama about a Jewish student, Danny, turned neo-Nazi. However, Danny's past isn't so easy to abandon - his brutal anti-Semitism is undercut by his deep desire to study and teach the Torah! Its varied themes are juxtaposed so mind-bending that we are forced to think about the issues as never before. Danny's internal conflict brings out lucid, compelling discussions of both Nazi ideals and Jewish traditions. Running time 1hr 38mins.
