RITE OF PASSAGE

FOUR young Jews prepare for the biggest night of their lives their Bar and Bat Mitzvah - in this fascinating film about faith and culture.

For these young people on the cusp of adulthood and their families, they must balance religion, tradition and of course, the chance to party.

A Bar Mitzvah (for boys) and Bat Mitzvah (for girls) marks a child's transition to adulthood within the Jewish faith - and is one of the most important occasions for these 12 and 13 year olds.

This touching film follows four families as they approach the big day, reflecting a range of religious observance, voices and traditions - which couldn't look more different.
