“[Director Daniel] Burman tends to focus very tightly on the details of individual identity—religion, nationality, gender. It is all the more striking, then, that his restrained and unassuming films are wise enough to speak to every adult.”
“Like Woody Allen, [director Daniel] Burman is a Jewish worrier who covers all present and future bases. He's the most indispensable worrier we have.”
“A deceptively small film, one whose observations may continue to detonate quietly in your mind after the lights have come up.”

Like his father before him, Perelman Jr. is an attorney. But rather than live in his father's shadow, Perelman Jr. chooses to work as a teacher in a law school. His life is good, if somewhat dull. Things change for the better when he pursues a beautiful former student, a pilates instructor named Sandra, and they have a son together. When his office is unexpectedly closed for several weeks, he doesn't tell Sandra, instead making visits to his son at school and his father at work. As his father begins to reach out to him with subtle urgency, he's forced to question his roles as father, son, and husband, and to contemplate what lies ahead.
Written and Directed by Daniel Burman
