Boston Jewish Film Festival presents "Mabul (Flood)"

A highly dysfunctional family, bullying from class mates and a bad tutor could derail any youth's dreams. But Yoni, a budding bar mitzvah boy, also must contend with his older brother,  Tomer, who is autistic (Michael Moshonov), in Mabul (Flood). Will Yoni rise to the occasion?  The cast includes Ronit Elkabetz ('The Band's Visit'), Zachi Grad, Yoav Rotman. In Hebrew with English subtitles.

The film was a big hit at The 2011 Boston Jewish Film Festival and has been a major player in the film festival circuit.
