Faygele, directed by Will Nunziata,
At 13, Ari Freed’s world is upended in an instant - when, at his Bar Mitzvah celebration, his father strikes him down with a single word: Faygele. The sting fractures his already delicate sense of self, forcing him into a battle he never asked for. Faygele is a story of survival in the space between faith and identity, love and duty, past and future - unraveling the complexities of Ari’s adolescence and the relationships that shape him.
