Thy Father’s Chair
Antonio Tibaldi
Abraham and Shraga are aging Orthodox Jewish twins who live a secluded existence in their inherited Brooklyn home. Since the death of their parents, they have stopped throwing anything away, hosting stray cats and accumulating all sorts of sorts of stuff. Enraged by the situation, the upstairs tenant threatens to stop paying rent unless they proceed with a radical cleaning of their apartment. Abraham and Shraga are forced to open their doors to a specialized cleaning company. They are pushed to find new solutions for many unanswered questions.
