You have never heard a story about a Matchmaker or a Shadchan like the one in this film!

In the summer of 1968, Arik Burnstein (Tuval Shafri)—a teenage boy growing up in Haifa—gets a job working for Yankele Bride (Adir Miller), a mysterious matchmaker and Holocaust survivor. As Arik begins to learn the mysteries of the human heart through his work with Yankele, the disparate parts of Arik’s life collide in unexpected, often funny and very moving ways. Avi Nesher’s acclaimed film mixes comedy with
drama as it tells a coming-of-age story unlike any you’ve seen before.

“The Matchmaker” was awarded the Silver Plaque at the 2010 Chicago International Film Festival for International Feature Film Competition.
