Judas

The film centers on Shmuel Ash, a student who becomes a companion to an elderly man, Gershom Wald. As their relationship develops, they engage in deep discussions about the humanity of Jesus and the controversial figure of Judas Iscariot. Shmuel proposes an alternative view of Judas, arguing that he may not have been a traitor but rather a true believer in Jesus's divinity.

Alongside this intellectual exploration, Shmuel's coming-of-age story unfolds as he navigates his feelings for Wald's daughter-in-law, Atalia Abravanel. This tender relationship adds emotional depth to the narrative, creating a rich backdrop for the philosophical debates that drive the film.
