Summer Israeli Film Series: The Matchmaker

eventdetail
Menemsha Films

A favorite at the Houston Jewish Film Festival, this poignant Israeli film set in the 1960s addresses the fragility and resilience of human nature, with the desire for love at its core.

The storyline focuses on Holocaust survivor, matchmaker and smuggler, Yankele Bride. 16-year old Arik needs a summer job and finds employment with Bride as a scout for possible clients. The job provides him with cash and an education about prostitution, illegal gambling and ironically, love.
