Terrific. Mind provoking study of 2 surviving Holocaust victims who meet in a park in Montreal in 1948 and quarrel regarding the philosophy of life.
One had totally forsaken his religion by leaving the Yeshiva and eventually ending Jewish practices due to his guilt over the killings of his wife and sons. The other, represented by Saul Rubinek, is a pious Jew who has guilt feelings over the death of his father, who would be shot by the Nazis on The Day of Atonement.
Both argue vehemently for the tenets they believe in. The lord's very existence is questioned as to why he could allow such things to take place, Rubinek argues that ultimately the Jewish people did survive.
Definitely a thought provoking, well made film.
