It is the early 1960s in Israel, and ten-year-old Hilik wants only to make his Holocaust survivor parents happy. When Hilik’s father, Moishe (Schindler’s List Rami Heuberger), thinks that his son from his first marriage miraculously survived and is now advisor to President Kennedy, Hilik attempts to make his father’s dream come true. The family’s stability is threatened when Moishe comes to terms with the fate of his family during the Holocaust. Nominated for three Israeli Academy Awards, Dear Mr. Waldman is a compelling coming-of-age story, which teaches about the healing power of love.
