Minyan: In rapidly changing New York of the 1980s, a Russian Jewish teenager wrestles with his identity, faith, and sexuality, all of which seem irreconcilable until he befriends
two closeted men in his grandfather’s senior housing complex. MINYAN is a tender portrait of self-discovery set in a rapidly changing nineteen eighty New York. David is a 17-
year-old yeshiva student living in Brooklyn with his Russian Jewish immigrant family: an overbearing mother and an abusive father. Though he has tender relationships with
the senior citizens around him - a doting grandfather and a pair of elderly closeted Jewish men - David is stifled by the constraints of his conservative religious community.
