St. Louis Jewish Film Festival – The Ring

About the event

From Israel * In Hebrew with English subtitles
Directors: Adir Miller, Doron Paz, Yoav Paz
Feature: 117 minutes
What begins as a simple, almost casual discovery quickly becomes something far more profound. In this acclaimed Israeli drama (with humor!), a single object—a ring—unlocks a buried family story, forcing its present-day owner to confront questions of memory, inheritance, and moral responsibility.
Starring beloved Israeli actor Adir Miller, The Ring moves fluidly between past and present, exploring how the legacy of the Holocaust continues to shape lives generations later. As long-held truths surface, the film asks what we owe to the past—and to each other—when history suddenly becomes personal.
By turns poignant, surprising, and deeply human, The Ring is a powerful reminder that history is never truly behind us. It lives in the objects we keep, the stories we tell, and the choices we make when we finally dare to look back.
