About the film:
The Ring
Director: Adir Miller
Israel 2024, 122 mins, Hebrew and Hungarian with English subtitles
Arnon Noble is a religious man with a strong bond to his mother, a Holocaust survivor. He usually drives her to school lectures, where she tells students how she saved her baby boy and herself with the help of a thin gold ring. When the mother’s health deteriorates, he travels to her old hometown, Budapest, to search for the mythological ring that saved her life in the past. He turns to his estranged daughter, a TV researcher, for help and offers to go on this journey together. Will the search for the ring be successful? Will the ring save the mother’s life again, and will the same ring that saved his mother also succeed in saving Arnon’s relationship with his own daughter?
The Opening Celebration is sponsored by Equitable Advisors
