Duvid Stern has never heard of Harry Potter. In fact, he doesn’t even go online. Raised in the Orthodox Satmar Hasidic community, his parents have laid down an ultimatum: find a wife by Purim, or they will find one for him. But outside of his microcosmic world of tradition and expectation, could there be something else?

Made at the University of Michigan, Duvid is a 27-minute short film by Chelsea Rebecca.
