This delightful and heartfelt Coconut Grove-set coming-of-age comedy navigates the perils of first love, religion and speculation about the afterlife as 13-year-old Ethan attempts to evade his Bar Mitzvah by converting to Catholicism. Meanwhile, his widowed dad has engaged curvaceous redheaded Rabbi Dani to administer private instruction in the Torah. Talk about complications. Torn in multiple directions, Ethan communes nightly with his mom and dead dog in the heaven he imagines for them, while struggling by day with his enthusiastic discovery of solo pleasures of the flesh. It all comes together in a spectacularly moving finale when faith, sex, love and family all coalesce in well-deserved harmony.
Director Herschel Faber will be present for audience discussion.
