Hilarious screwball comedy exploring the conventions of religion, family and relationships.
A cantor (Jason Schwartzman) in a crisis of faith finds his world turned upside down when his primary school music teacher (Carol Kane) re-enters his life as his new adult Bat Mitzvah student. At first resistant to her offbeat, energising take on life, he soon realises this could be just the change he has been looking for.
Powered by the sparkling chemistry of its two leads, a script which mixes engaging, tender characters with black humour (in the vein of Harold and Maude), and shot in stunning clarity by Sean Price Williams, Between the Temples is sincere and philosophical.
