Movie description:
The emotional gulf between an Orthodox rabbi and his son leads to tragedy in this religious drama. Revered Israeli actor Assi Dayan stars as the father in this modern retelling of the parable of Abraham and Isaac.
Rabbi Avraham and his wife Esther have one son, Menachem, whose birth they regard as miraculous. Menachem’s curiosity about the world is repeatedly stymied by his father, who in one instance forces him to rip up an »idolatrous« picture. Foreshadowed by an instance of Shiluach haken a trip to the Dead Sea, the eponymous »summer vacation,« ends with Menachem drowning and his parents mourning.
»My Father My Lord« is an intimate and deeply disturbing story of the conflict between a father’s love and his deep devotion to religion. A respected Orthodox Rabbi dotes on his only son but his religious strictures leave an emotional gap between the impish child and the stern father. When the father’s all-consuming obsession with observing religious ritual inadvertently leads to tragedy, his previously subservient wife rages against both her husband and God. A dramatic retelling of the story of Abraham and Isaac with a devastating twist!
