Between the Temples

Ben, a cantor at his local synagogue, is struggling through a period of personal and religious crisis, causing him to lose his singing voice. A chance encounter with Carla, his old school music teacher, provides Ben with a lifeline as the pair strike up an unlikely friendship that offers them both a new lease on life. 

An acerbic exploration of middle-age anxiety and the vagaries of faith and friendship, Nathan Silver’s comedy is both unapologetically sharp-witted and irresistibly warm-hearted. 

Jason Schwartzman and Carol Kane are note-perfect as the eccentric partners who help one another recapture life’s melody.
