SWEET MUD - 4:30 pm

Sweet Mud is a complex and multi-layered coming-of-age tale that's sweet and charming in all the right places. On the surface, it's a simple story of a son's relationship with his fragile and mentally unstable mother. But with its many subtle complexity, we see a richly woven tapestry of culture, idealism, love, and freedom. Deeply moving performances are given by Ronet Yudkevitz, who portrays the mother as both a tragic and dignified woman, and Tomer Steinof, playing the son in a truly impressive debut performance.
