Film Overview

Original Title: Lefkovicsék gyászolnak
English Title: All About the Levkoviches

In this runaway hit at Jewish film festivals around the world, cultures clash when a gregarious boxing coach reunites with his estranged Orthodox Jewish son, who left for Israel years earlier, forcing them back together to sit shiva for the woman who meant so much to them both.Tamás is a lovable crotchety and aging boxing trainer living peacefully in Hungary—except for the estranged relationship with his son Iván who has moved to Israel to pursue a more religious life. When Tamás’ wife dies, he and his son are finally forced to deal with each other and their festering grudges. And it’s Iván’s adorable son Ariel, while forcing them to explain themselves, who draws them together. In the classic style of bittersweet family dramedies, ALL ABOUT THE LEVKOVICHES tenderly presents a family’s journey to reconcile their different personalities and beliefs with charming laughs and relatable emotions, delivering a heartwarming film about fathers and sons. —C.F.
