The Quest for the Missing Piece

In a land far far away a boy was born. And because it was in the Jewish state, his parents had him circumcised. The boy grew into a man and found a beloved from a far away land. On his wedding night he found out that his husband has something that he was missing. He decides to find it. An amusing documentary from Oded Lotan examines the meaning of circumcision in contemporary Israel and the relationship between tradition and personal identity. The director, also the main protagonist of the film, during his search touches upon universal themes such as ones relationship to ritual, fear of exclusion, and the need to belong.
