Hunting Elephants

Synopsis

Jonathan is a bright 12 year-old--perhaps too bright, since everyone picks on him at school, including his teachers. His closest friend in the world is his father, Daniel. The two of them meet up everyday after school when Jonathan visits Daniel during his work hours at the bank. One day, Daniel is involved in an fatal accident at work and the bank refuses to take resposibility for it. Suddenly, Jonathan is forced to cope with losing his father, while preventing his clueless mother from falling into the arms of the wrong man in order to save them from losing their house. With the help of his cranky grandfather Eliyahu (Sasson Gabai, "The Band's Visit"), Eliyahu’s wily friend Nick (Moni Moshonov, "Late Marriage"), and a disgraced, eccentric British Lord (Sir Patrick Stewart, "X-Men"), Jonathan comes up with a crazy plan that will help save his family, while getting even with his father’s sleazy former boss: the four of them are going to rob the bank! Both hilarious and heart-warming, "Hunting Elephants" is a truly special film that will win over audiences worldwide.
