As this year’s winner of the 2021 Micki Moore Award at the Toronto Jewish Film Festival (TJFF), Lune is a powerful film about politics, religion, bipolar disorder, the mental health care system, and parenting.
Set in 1994 Toronto, Miriam, a South African-born Jew, navigates a manic episode triggered by her determination to vote for the recently-freed Nelson Mandela. Having spent years fighting apartheid, Miriam is eager to return to South Africa to vote in the historic election. But her mania escalates when she meets her teenage daughter’s African Canadian boyfriend.
