Nominated for eight Israeli Academy Awards, SHOELACES is the story of a complicated relationship between an aging father and his special-needs son, whom he abandoned while he was still a young boy. As a result of the death of the mother, the father is thrust into an uncomfortable relationship with his son for whom he is now temporarily responsible. Through the film’s portrayal of a relationship full of love, rejection and co-dependency, it manages to shed some light and question the importance of human life, human connection and if life is even possible without it either one of them.
