France/Israel 2008
A widowed professor is living a near somnambulist’s life when he discovers a beguiling percussionist and his girlfriend living in his abandoned NYC flat. Walter’s initial awkward drumming lessons from Tarek awaken his spirit and ultimately offer an unexpected taste of happiness. This movie is a real stunner.
