Reviews And Overviews
In the days before Yom Kippur (aka the Day of Atonement), Zak Pikler takes his pregnant girlfriend Delphina to find his estranged father in the family drama Tickling Leo. When they reach the man's home in the Catskills, he finds his father has turned into a hermit and is suffering from dementia. But the problems in the present only mask those in the past, causing his father to revisit the Holocaust and his escape from Hungary. Produced by actress and director Mary Stuart Masterson, Tickling Leo stars Daniel Sauli, Annie Parisse,
On March 3, 1957, Rudolph Kasztner, a Hungarian Zionist, was assassinated on the streets of Tel Aviv for the choices he made while negotiating the rescue of 1,685 people on the notorious "Kasztner Train." Fifty years later in the Catskills, one of those survivors and his fractured family are forced to unravel the mystery behind their own choices in relation to this historical event.
Set around the days of Yom Kippur, "Tickling Leo" is a contemporary drama that follows three generations of one Jewish family whose secrets threaten to wipe away its future. When he loses touch with his estranged father, Zak Pikler (Daniel Sauli) and his pregnant girlfriend Delphina (Annie Parisse) travel to an abandoned Catskills lake where the eccentric poet Warren Yitzchak Pikler (Lawrence Pressman) is living in solitude and declining health. As Zak copes with his father's dementia, Delphina inadvertently uncovers a secret the Piklers have been hiding since World War II: an impossible sacrifice they made in order to join Rudolph Kasztner’s controversial train out of Hungary.
