 Restoration


Pittsburgh Premiere
Director: Yossi Madmoni
2010, Israel, 105 minutes
Hebrew with subtitles

When Yakov Fidelman’s long-time business partner dies, he discovers that their antique furniture restoration business is in dire financial straits. His abrasive son, Noah, wants him to close the business to build condos, not understanding that it is the only thing touching his father’s lonely, quiet life. An unexpected person enters his life in the form of Anton, a gifted yet secretive young man. When Anton finds an antique Steinway in the shop, it may hold the key to keeping the business afloat. A thoughtful, psychological drama that focuses on the complexities of universal relationships: fathers and sons, husbands and wives, and even the relationship we have with our work. Adult content.

“A powerful film about intergenerational conflict and loyalty, one of the best films to play the (New York Jewish film) festival in several years.” -George Robinson, The Jewish Week
