Based on the award-winning film by David Brandes and Joseph Telushkin, The Quarrel pits two long-lost friends against each other in an intense battle of wits. Survivors of war and persecution, a rabbi and an atheist must grapple with the question of faith. As they spend the day together, the two men alternately cling together to recall their common past, and lock horns in debate over their opposing views of God and the world. For them and for the audience, the concentrated drama of their encounter passes too quickly.
