About film
This powerful drama tells about a sad man who buried his mother but cannot gather a minyan, a special quorum required to say the Jewish mourner’s Kaddish. The situation becomes absurd when the film becomes surreal and turns into a cordial and paradoxical musical. This unexpected artistic choice makes Late Kaddish sound in an entirely new key.
