A mother who survived the Holocaust dedicates her life to the Kabala. Meanwhile, her son recovers the fragments of his heroine-saturated past.
Synopsis
A journey through the Kabbalah, heroin, chaos and redemption. The director's mother married one of the greatest Kabbalists of our time, Rabbi Ashlag, who was 40 years older than she. He taught her the secrets of Kabbalah before he passed away.
Since then she has dreamed of her son becoming a messiah, but he ran away at the age of 14 and became addicted to heroin. For the past 10 years he has been filming his search for love and home.
"The film THE CHAOS WITHIN shows two parallel worlds; one depicted by the intricate character that is my mother; An orphan who had experienced on her own flesh the horrors of the Holocaust and now is devoted solely to saving humanity from another world war through the spreading of kabala.
While on the other hand, I, her son, am trying to collect the shattered pieces of my heroin saturated past and save my own personal world." (Director Yannai Jacob Lein)
