How does a shy ultra-Orthodox guy become a world master in Capoeira and how does the ultra-Orthodox community of his city, Bnei Brak, react to the revolution he is determined to bring about? “Rabbi Capoeira”, the new film by Barak Heymann (“Comrade Dov”, “High Maintenance”) documents the five year long Sisyphean struggle of Miki Hayat, founder of the association” ultra-Orthodox in rhythm”, to connect spirit and body and to bridge between fears and dreams.
