Leaving his comfortable but stale New York life to visit his father for the Purim holiday, middle-aged economist Ariel (Alan Sabbagh) is quickly pulled into his dad's hectic life as the head of a charitable organization located in El Once, Buenos Aires's vibrant Jewish quarter. Heard but never seen, the respected elder guides his son through increasingly wild neighborhood rounds via cell phone, helping struggling locals in the community with necessities and enlisting beautiful, shy Orthodox woman Eva (Julieta Zylberberg) to assist a clueless Ariel in finding his way through the city and, perhaps, toward something bigger than himself.

Writer/director Daniel Burman (Lost Embrace) continues his look at the lives and tensions between fathers and sons with this wry, middle-aged coming-of-age comedy. Shot in a loose, quasi-documentary style by Daniel Ortega, The Tenth Man is a tender and engaging ode to the importance of community and family and shows that perhaps you can go home again, after all.

Winner: Best Actor, Tribeca
