iMORDECAI

Mordecai (Judd Hirsch) and Fela (Carol Kane) are married Holocaust survivors in Florida in this new comedic film that shows that you’re never too old to learn something new. Mordecai befriends a young woman who teaches him the wonders of the iPhone. Meanwhile, the couple continues to navigate their relationship with their ambitious cigar-maker son (Sean Astin). The filmmaker lovingly based the characters on his own parents.
