A successful lawyer, Noah wants to close and build an apartment complex on the site. But with the help of a new apprentice Yaakob fights to save the workshop and his life's work.
An elegant piece of restrained storytelling and filmmaking, Restoration is a film of fatherhood, values and the acceptance of change.
