In Hungary, stubborn boxing trainer Tamás (70) mourns the death of his wife. He has not spoken to his son for seven years since Iván converted to Orthodox Judaism in Israel. Iván comes home with his six-year-old son and insists on sitting shiva for seven days in accordance with Jewish custom – in the atheist living room. The grandson, however, is convinced that his grandmother’s spirit is still lingering in the house in preparation for the journey to the Eternal Light. Three males, three generations, different forms of mourning, atheistic and religious conceptions, guilt and forgiveness – all staged as a nimble and humorous dramatic comedy. A film that is fun to watch.
