KABBALA IN KABUL

26.01-26.02.2010 MNAC Auditorium

There are only two Jews left in Afghanistan, and they live in the same place: a former synagogue in Kabul. But rather than bonding together, they can’t stand each other. The elderly Isaac lives on the ground floor and makes a living by selling amulets to his Muslim neighbors. Middle-aged Zebulon lives on the top floor and haggles with the same Afghans over his illegally produced wine.

"I lived three years in Kabul, I learned the local language and I think I started to merge with the caracters of the movie” Dan Alexe

Liberation : “Finaly a movie with Afghans that make us laugh ...!”
