English One shoemaker workshop, whose best times of prosperity are clearly long gone, and one visit of a son who makes a living as a screenwriter. Or rather, he tries to make a living, because apparently, he is at rock bottom and longs to escape the hopeless situation by returning to the family tradition. However, his brother, who helps their father in the workshop, has a similar sense of futility but instead longs to have a business in the film industry. Despite a certain bitterness, the meeting of losers is touching and it is evident that the Jewish family of small craftsmen knows how to stick together. Overall impression: 55%. ()
