The X Files: Kaddish (1997)
A Final Good-Bye
One of the most, if not the most, poignant episode of the X-Files. Ariel Weiss (skillfully and beautifully played by Justine Miceli) and Isaac Luria are two, young orthodox Jews betrothed to one another. Ariel's father, a Holocaust survivor, discovers a re-birth of his hopes for the future through his daughter's love for Isaac and their impending wedding. In a cruel twist of fate, Isaac becomes the victim of a hate crime and is brutally shot to death shortly before their wedding. Ariel was not afforded the opportunity to express her love for Isaac one last time nor was she able to say a final good-bye.
Through the sheer power and intensity of her love for Isaac and her faith, Ariel creates the opportunity to meet with Isaac one last time, tell him of her undying love and bid him a final good-bye.
A story of love, loss and a fulfilled wish to have one final opportunity to say, "I love you" and to say "Good-bye".
For anyone who has lost someone they dearly love and has often wished to see them one last time.
I've watched this episode over and over. The ending is beautiful and so very poignant. From ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.
