KOSHERLAND(2014)

Kosherland is a Latvian crime thriller that follows Yaroslav Baturov, a debt collector freshly released from prison. When he encounters a clairvoyant cop, the two become entangled in an extortion scheme that spirals into chaos inside Shlomo Rubinstein's modest grocery store. What begins as a straightforward shakedown takes a sharp, unexpected turn as the store becomes ground zero for a collision of criminal ambitions and supernatural insight. Director Shlomo Rubinstein crafts a darkly comedic tale where small-town crime, paranormal abilities, and the unlikely sanctuary of a kosher market converge in surprising ways. The film balances tension with absurdist humor, exploring how ordinary people and extraordinary circumstances collide in the margins of Eastern European life.
