The family food drama Abe starring Noah Schnapp of Stranger Things, arrives on DVD on June 2. Noah Schnapp stars as twelve-year-old Abe, an aspiring chef, who wants his cooking to bring people together–but his half-Israeli, half-Palestinian family has never had a meal that didn’t end in a fight. He soon meets an adventurous street chef who encourages him to think outside his old cuisines.
Also starring Mark Margolis (“Breaking Bad”), Dagmara Dominczyk (“The Count of Monte Cristo”), the film was screened at Sundance, São Paulo International Film Festival, TIFF, and Montclair Film Festival, the film won the Audience Award at the Washington Jewish Film Festival, and screened at Zlin Film Festival where it was nominated for the Golden Slipper (Best Feature Film for Youth).
Twelve-year-old Abe (Noah Schnapp) is an aspiring chef who wants his cooking to bring people together–but his half-Israeli, half-Palestinian family has never had a meal that didn’t end in a fight. Ditching his traditional summer camp, Abe begins working with Chico (Seu Jorge), an adventurous street chef who encourages him to think outside his old cuisines. But when Abe’s deceit is uncovered, he must grapple with his family, his background, and his passions, and whether even the most lovingly-cooked family dinner can heal old wounds.
