At a banquet hall, at the onset of war, Adam Weizmann's bar mitzvah party turns into a glorious disaster. On the cusp of manhood - and the verge of a nervous breakdown - Adam has been bracing for his special day, mired in family neuroses and national dysfunction.
In a chorus of voices, a fractious cast of well-wishers narrates Adam's coming-of-age in Israel: his newly devout father and the mystic rituals he practiced on his young son; his best friend, Abbie, who points the way to joyful transgression; Khalil, a Palestinian poet, who offers a glimpse of a different way to be; and Adam himself, filled with shame and desire as he faces the brokenness of his world.
At once tender and lustful, a work of scathing satire and piercing insight, MAZELTOV is a truly original vision of a young man's quest to know his own heart.
