synopsis
Homosexuality in the Orthodox community is the subject of the Israeli film, “Eyes Wide Open” (Einaym Pkuhot) which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. Aaron Fleishman (Zohar Shtrauss) is a father of 4 who takes over the family kosher butcher shop following the death of his father. Aaron’s observant world is turned upside down with the arrival of a young Yeshiva student Ezri (Ran Danker). When Aaron and Ezri begin spending time together, Aaron is quickly ostracized within the Orthodox community. Confronted by Rabbi Vaisben (Tzahi Grad), Aaron declares he was dead before meeting Ezri. We see how quickly social control turns violent and ugly in the Orthodox community when Ezri is forced to leave. “Eyes Wide Open” has a strong cast and delivers a powerful message in a country divided by debates about the growing influence of the Orthodox Jewish community. Directed by Haim Tabakman.
