BOOK NOW

Esau is forty years old when he returns to his native Israel after more than two decades away. He left his family and a certain future as a teenager suffering from a painful heartbreak. The problem is, the beautiful girl he fell in love with back then married his twin brother, Jacob, and the brotherly resentment was never fully healed. Thus, after spending half of his life abroad, Esau comes back because he needs to understand who he was and what made him choose the life he did. When in Israel, he finds more problems than he can bear, and the man starts to wonder if life was really so unfair to him.
