Event Description: On the first Wednesday of each month, St. Helena Public Library shows an independent or foreign film that has been featured in a film festival but has not yet been widely released in theaters. November 4th: For My Father (a Thriller from Isreal) Terek, a Palestinian forced on a suicide mission in Tel Aviv to redeem his father's honor, is given a second chance when the fuse on his explosive vest fails to detonate. Forced to spend the weekend in Tel Aviv awaiting its repair, Terek must live amongst the people he was planning to kill. To his surprise he connects with several Israelis on the outskirts of society, including the beautiful Keren, who has cut off contact with her Orthodox family and upbringing. With nothing to lose, Terek and Keren open up to one another, and an unlikely love blooms between two isolated and damaged individuals, raised to be enemies. However, with the deadly load of explosives still strapped to him, he must spend 48 hours in the city, caught between the men that sent him–who can blow up his bomb remotely, the Israeli police patrolling the streets, and his new-found companions. Spending this time with Keren and his new friends, Terek discovers the spark of life returning to fill his soul, but when the weekend ends, Terek must make the decision of his life. Winner Audience Award (Best Film) Moscow Int’l Film Festival and Cinequest Film Festival. Official Selection The Hamptons Int'l Film Festival. In Hebrew with English subtitles.
