Zev Godinger is the caretaker of the
Jewish community of Beregovo, Ukraine. When Zev meets Yale and his
partner David Notowitz, he decides to return to his hometown of
Vinogradov for the first time in 50 years. While on the train trip
Zev carries a Torah (brought by Yale & David from the US) for his
boyhood synagogue which hasn't had one for years. During the course
of the trip we meet many of Zev's friends, particularly the Gypsies
who are the ones who maintain what little Jewish music remains in
the Carpathian mountains. |
