Shoelaces is the story of two men: Gadi (Nevo Kimchi), who has special needs and whose mother just passed away, and Rueben (Dov Glikman), the father who abandoned him at a young age and who his now his sole guardian. The two reconnect only for Gadi to learn that his estranged father is in need of a kidney transplant. While he volunteers to make this donation he is rejected by the committee, since they do not believe him capable of making this decision fairly. Gadi doesn’t wish to lose the father he just gained and is prepared to fight for his right to make his own choices. Director Jacob Goldwasser, himself a father of a child with special-needs, tells a tale of optimism, warmth, and love that must strive against all odds in order to be heard.
