The father has toiled in obscurity, whereas his son is an academic superstar. A comically unfortunate mishap is about to further fracture their already tenuous and awkward relationship. This 2011 Academy Award nominee, written and directed by Joseph Cedar, examines with a sweet and a heartfelt spirit the difficulties of academia and father-son relationships.
