Shem
Synopsis
Daniel, 19 and good looking, leads a life of pleasure and fun in London until one conversation with his grandmother. He realizes he needs more meaning to his life and goes on a quest for his great grandfather's grave, somewhere behind the former Iron Curtain. He never tells his real name (his SHEM in Hebrew) to anyone but during his stroll through Berlin, Prague, Budapest, Belgrade - his identity and what being a British Jew means slowly dawns on him. Many surprises await him.
