Fishke, a lame Jewish bath attendant, stands up against the persecutions of Jews in 16th century Russia. An Israeli production based on the Yiddish book "Fishke der Krumer" (Fishke the Lame), this film is an action-packed kung fu martial arts epic set in the Jewish shtetl. The film explores links between Chinese and Hassidic philosophies, questions the orthodox concept of the Jewish body and confronts it with the modern dilemma of Jewish military combat.
