The Binding

Overview

Binyamin (21), lives by himself in a small apartment in the center of Tel Aviv. He moved there after he came out of the closet and had to face opposition from his family, who live in a small settlement in the Israeli desert. Being away from them allowed him to detach himself someway from the trauma that accompanies his family’s lives following the death of his older brother in an accident, for which Binyamin feels responsible for. His lifestyle, made of constant and violent one night stands, will change after his relationship with the owner of the pub he works at will become closer. Avinoam (49), a nationalist religious man, is a charismatic person who uses his powerful words as a weapon. Under his care, Binyamin will find a safe space, up until an unexpected event will change his entire life.
