Description
On the brink of his mandatory enlistment into the Israeli Army, Meyer seeks refuge in San Francisco. He stays with his Aunt Talia in his cousin's abandoned room, which is a stark reminder of her drug-addicted son's struggles. As Meyer grapples with the profound weight of his identity, family history, and destiny, his aunt presents him with a journal that once belonged to his great-grandfather, Joseph Rubin. This journal, a testament to Joseph's tumultuous life as a gangster, profoundly influences and shapes Meyer's choices.Meyer is engulfed by the journal, his great-grandfather's entries sketching a vibrant portrait of Joseph's alter ego, Joey Rizz, and his life as an Italian Mobster. As he wanders through San Francisco and engages in profound discussions with his Rabbi, Aunt, and childhood friends, Meyer is on a quest for orientation. The journal, a potent relic of his family's past, becomes his compass, guiding him through the murky waters of his own identity with unwavering certainty.
