About The Film

Arnav, a graffiti artist living near the Old City of Jerusalem, paints by night and pines for his ex-girlfriend. When he witnesses the kidnapping of a mysterious stranger, he is drawn into a world of mysticism and mystery, and for once, his life is stranger than his art. The captive, Rabbi Knafo, leads a band of devoted followers who believe he’s a modern day prophet. But Knafo has made enemies of some powerful men and only Arnav—the most unlikely of unlikely heroes—can save him. Accompanied by a grizzled private eye and a beautiful mystery woman, Arnav must emerge from behind his artist’s mask and risk everything to save Knafo. This mind-bending film from Avi Nesher (THE MATCHMAKER, SJFF 2011) is part film noir, part Alice in Wonderland, and creates a world where fact and fiction, reality and imagination, and truth and lies mingle freely.
