Shoelaces (Blu-Ray)

“Shoelaces” tells the story of a
complicated relationship between an
aging father and his special-needs son.
Reuben's (Dov Glickman) kidneys
are failing and his son Gadi (Nevo
Kimchi) wants to donate one of his
own kidneys to help save his father's
life. However, the transplant
committee objects to the procedure
claiming that Reuben, acting as
Gadi's sole legal guardian, does not
have the right to authorize such an
invasive procedure. Gadi, who
recently lost his mother, is afraid of
losing his father as well and sets out
to fight for his right to save his
father's life. Through its portrayal of
a relationship full of love, rejection
and co-dependency, “Shoelaces”
questions the importance of human
connection and if life is even
possible without it.
