JCCNS International Jewish 13th Annual Film Festival, generously sponsored by Sharon and Howard Rich & Leslie and Bob Ogan

In 1963, Esther gives birth to Roland, the youngest of a large family, born with a club foot that prevents him from standing. Against everyone’s advice, she promises her son that he will walk like the others—and that he will live a full, extraordinary life. From that moment on, Esther dedicates herself to keeping this promise. Spanning decades of trials, triumphs, and small miracles, this moving and often funny film celebrates a remarkable journey and the greatest love of all: a mother’s devotion to her child.
