Does faith play a role in our everyday lives? The answer is yes, according to this enthralling 35mm film, which consists of a single 27-minute-long take of breathtaking virtuosity. As we accompany an elderly man on his morning walk to his synagogue, intimate close-ups allow us to take in the full measure of determination that underlies each step of this spiritual voyage. Carefully composed shots of the ordinary spaces we move through endow them with grace and mystery. This unforgettable film is a testament to unwavering devotion and gritty perseverance; it reminds us that the journey, not the destination, is the true source of transcendence. MP
