Footnote
horizontal line

An engaging, poignant, heartbreaking, well-acted film in which a well-respected, Jewish, Talmudic Studies professor (Lior Ashkenazi) at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, who has a supportive wife (Alma Zack) and a lazy son (Daniel Markovich), has a contentious relationship with his jealous, stubborn, bitter father (Shlomo Bar-Aba), who is also a longtime professor at the same university whose only claim to fame is a mention of his name in a footnote by a former mentor, and is placed in an unwinnable, "between a rock and a hard place" position when uncompassionate, academic members (Micah Lewensohn, et al.) of a prestigious committee make a horrific blunder while awarding their annual Israel Prize.
