synopsis

This atmospheric VHS experiment with a dose of the mysterious and inspiration from film noir takes place in the fictional city of New Yeshiva, where – set against shots of the urban landscape and with a voiceover narration – we witness the stories of dead children, rabbis, and a community in strange hoods. What is hidden inside the blue box?
