Africa

Meir, a 68-year-old retired engineer, discovers that he has not been asked to plan the annual village ceremony, which he’s done for the past thirty years. The task has now been given to a younger man.

Director Oren Gerner ponders aging and family in a time of transition in this inventive quasi-factual feature about an elderly man (played by Gerner’s father) seeking purpose and meaning as the years tick by. Africa comes to Haifa from its world premiere in the Toronto Festival.
