Wasserman-The Rain Man
Synopsis
Seventy-three year old Wasserman swore never to pray again. He blames God for his family’s annihilation during the Holocaust. He is unwilling to forgive.

The only way his religious neighbors will help him out is if he agrees to join them in the synagogue for a communal prayer to end the devastating drought that is plaguing their region.
Now Wasserman has to confront his two daughters and grandson in a final attempt to hold on to his family and his land. He has 24 hours to make a decision…
