Baba Joon

Yitzhak (Navid Negahban, who played Abu Nazir on Homeland) is proud to maintain the same turkey farm that his father built when the family moved from Iran to Israel. Now that Yitzhak's son Moti (Asher Avrahami) is thirteen, the expectation is that he will learn the familial trade and, in his own time, take over the business. But Moti is more interested in reconstructing old cars and trucks, a trade for which he obviously has a tremendous talent. The rebellious boy is not at all shy about letting his father know that he has no interest in turkeys, but for Yitzhak this rejection isn't just a matter of personal interest — it's an insult to all the values he holds most dear.
