Die Zweiflers

A wonderful film, succeeding in its sensitivity and deep recognition of the nuances of the world in which the plot takes place in conveying the conflict of a person of who deal with faith, and determenition in a Ashcenazi religious framework.

The student's desire to succeed and advance and demand the highest quality educational institution for him - in this case, a yeshiva of ultra-Orthodox Ashkenazim. When his mobility to move forward is determined by predetermined barriers.

Because of his sectarian origin.

The same conflict creates processes in the boy's family. And asks questions about education, relationship and identity.

Should a person accept the circumstances of his life and reconcile with them and try to improve his status from them, or should he refuse to cooperate with the oppressive, conservative, and discriminatory factors in society.

It's a universal story that asks if man has a choice or is he stuck in a deterministic world.

The play of the characters is wonderful, surprising and free of clichés. The end of the film manages to produce catharsis in the viewer.

And in all the cinematic parameters of shooting, editing, scripting and directing, the language is meticulous and coherent.
