The Ladder

Romania 2021 | 137 minutes | Romanian | Hebrew subtitles

Andrei, a sensitive, socially awkward young man, turns to acting in his search for true happiness. With the fall of Communism, he is blinded by the illusion of freedom and democracy and faces a series of brutal events that have deeply marked Romania's recent history. Finding comfort in playing the part of Aliosa in a stage adaptation of The Karamazov Brothers, he becomes closer and closer to his character, gradually discovering the way to understanding divinity.
