David is a 12-year-old high-flyer. He’s ambitious, witty and Jewish. “Well... almost Jewish,” he admits. There’s just one slight problem: his father is Jewish, but his mother is not, so according to Jewish law he’s not Jewish. David wants to become fully Jewish and really belong, but why? What does it mean to be part of the Jewish people? This is a funny, mature children’s documentary on faith, antisemitism and identity.

 

SÄRAV DAVID
Re˛issöör Ester Gould

David on 12-aastane kõrgelennuline poiss. Tema isa on juut, aga ema mitte. Seega David pole juut, kuna neil käib põlvnemine ema järgi. David aga tahab väga olla juut. Miks? Sellele vastab lastefilm, mis räägib Davidi kaudu veel ka antisemitismist ning rahvuslikust identiteedist.
