In His Shoes - Orna Porat Theater for Children and Youth (11:00)

In order not to spoil your children's viewing experience, children and toddlers under the recommended age will not be permitted into the hall. "In His Shoes" is a moving comedy that begins with a small family argument and ends in great magic. During the confrontation, an unexpected event occurs: Grandpa Shaul and his grandson Rani swap bodies. In one imperceptible moment, Grandpa Shaul — a former Palmach fighter and now a resident of a nursing home — finds himself in the body of Rani, his teenage grandson. At the same time, Rani, a boy struggling with learning difficulties and dreaming of becoming a rap star, wakes up inside his grandfather's body. This new, reversed reality creates a series of comic, surprising situations that are funny to tears. The two men's attempts to hide what happened from Rani's mother — Grandpa Shaul's daughter — and from everyone around them, only complicate matters further. But alongside the humor and chaos, the swap opens a real door to renewed acquaintance: each of them is forced to live the other's life, to understand the hardships, fears and dreams they had never seen up close before. Through this experience, a deep emotional bridge forms between grandfather and grandson, and a renewed discovery of closeness, compassion and mutual appreciation. Will the magic disappear, and if so — when? And what will become of their relationship once each returns to his own place? "In His Shoes" is a heartwarming comedy about generation gaps, roots, identity, and the great importance of the bond between generations — a funny and touching story about the possibility of truly understanding someone standing in another's shoes.
