David und die Synagoge

A Jewish boy in Berlin today: David’s daily life is hardly any different from that of his classmates. When his friends Max and Felix discover his religious background, he takes them to the synagogue and explains the interior and the order of the service to them. Documentary clips from a Bar Mitzvah celebration are interwoven into the fictional narrative. As guests in a Jewish religious education class, the boys eventually learn some rules of Jewish dietary laws and their significance in everyday life.
