Movie Synopsis:

FOOTNOTE is the tale of a great rivalry between a father and son. Eliezer and Uriel Shkolnik are both eccentric professors, who have dedicated their lives to their work in Talmudic Studies. The father, Eliezer, is a stubborn purist who fears the establishment and has never been recognized for his work. While his son, Uriel, is an up-and-coming star in the field, who appears to feed on accolades, endlessly seeking recognition.

Then one day, the tables turn. When Eliezer learns that he is to be awarded the Israel Prize, the most valuable honor for scholarship in the country, his vanity and desperate need for validation are exposed. His son Uriel, meanwhile, is thrilled to see his father's achievements finally recognized but, in a darkly funny twist, is forced to choose between the advancement of his own career and his father's. Will he sabotage his father's glory?

FOOTNOTE is the story of insane academic competition, the dichotomy betweenadmiration and envy for a role model, and the very complicated relationship between a father and son.

THE VINTNER'S LUCK a rare and unusual story, set in 19th Century France, which tells of a peasant wine-maker, Sobran Jodeau, and his life-long relationship with an angel.

The angel is Xas, a curious creature who visits Sobran one night a year for the duration of his life. Sobran is in turn fascinated, fearful and infatuated but also ambitious for what the angel can teach him about the world and about wine. The angel is equally drawn to Sobran. Thus begins a friendship that becomes a deep, conflicted and passionate relationship - one that is marked, year by year, by the wine that they make together.

Man and angel explore each other and with each movement in Sobran's life; ambition, war, lust, love, sex, fatherhood, friendship, artistic mastery and finally spirituality, Xas' experience of humanity deepens. As does Sobran's.

But this strange and beautiful relationship is inherently unstable, and as the angel reveals his secrets - tragic, beautiful and horrifying - Sobran must confront the angel's true nature. Their struggle, their separation and their eventual union before the greatness - not of God - but of the experience of life is what brings Sobran peace at his life's end.
