The story of Shmilu, a Hasidic Jew in crisis, torn between his community and the romantic possibilities of trendy East London. This is the first fictional film made with the UK's Hasidic population, including non-professional supporting actors, authentic locations and notably Yiddish dialogue - a language rarely heard in post-war European cinema. It explores culture clash, identity struggle and the spiritual consequences.
