When a closeted, religious teenager finds a love letter from before the Holocaust written to his grandfather by another man, he discovers that he might not be alone. With help from his high-school crush, he sets out to find the mysterious author of the letter and uncover both his grandfather's identity as well as his own.This coming-of-age story about a young adult who is struggling to find his own identity and where he fits into the world is written, directed and produced by Jeremy Borison.
"My goal in telling this story is to welcome audiences into a place of compassion and understanding, and help a community that has long identified with its own persecution recognize its role in the persecution of others.... While I hope this film will enlighten religious communities and validate LGBTQ experiences, I also believe it will resonate with any audience that understands the fear of being alone" says Jeremy.
** Parents: This film is not rated. The producers describe its content as comparable to a PG-13 rating.
In-partnership with: CSAIR, Congregation Tehillah, The Kehilah of Riverdale, Riverdale Temple, Riverdale Y, and YCT.
