The Juggler (Votiv Kino De France)

Having survived the Shoah, German-born entertainer Hans Muller (Kirk Douglas) arrives in Israel in 1949. Suffering from the trauma and psychological effects of the horrors he has witnessed, he struggles to fit into the young state. After an incident with the police, he flees and wanders the country. Finally, he arrives at a kibbuz where he hopes to find some peace. As the first U.S. film to be shot in Israel, this drama offers a unique perspective on the struggles of Shoah survivors with trauma who arrived during the chaotic period of state formation.
