 Everything is going great for the Director: he inherited the benefits of two generations of New York Jews who turned their backs on their religious past and re-invented themselves in America. But when his ex-pat Israeli hustler pal Shimon walks into the trendy L.A. Kabbalah Center and walks out newly-religious - with a one-way ticket to a yeshiva in Jerusalem in hand - the Director s world is turned upside down. Following Shimon to Israel, the Director moves through Israel s religious and spiritual communities investigating and wondering whether everyone, not just Madonna and Shimon, has lost his mind.
