Released December 19th in the US.
Filmed in New York and California.
Based on truths.
The story: Yussel Rabinovitch is a young Jewish cantor, also the son of a cantor.
But he has a knack for writing and performing his own music.
By day, he is in the church, along with his father and wife.
At night, he plays gigs with friends at nightclubs.
When his friends get a gig in California and call him, telling him that a famous performer wants him to come out to California and bring his songs, Yussel is stuck.
This means Yussel will have to convince his father to allow him to walk away from the church, which has been his whole life.
But if he does, it could mean a whole other prosperous life for him, possibly even performing the songs that he loves.
