Rare Film Drama Set in Jerusalem's Orthodox Community
(New York Times) Sharon Waxman - "Ushpizin" tells the story of an impoverished and childless couple, Moshe and Malli, who wait for a miracle during the Sukkot festival when observant Jews eat outside in huts. When a pair of career criminals show up on their doorstep, the couple take in the freeloaders as welcome guests - the ancient Aramaic word is "ushpizin" - and view them as a test of their faith by God.
