Movie Haiku:Everyone comes to Ri… uh, Mike’s Place, a bar in embattled Jerusalem that’s decorated with ‘60s rock posters. Young Mendy sneaks out of his Orthodox home looking for what, he’s not sure. Before you can say “Oy, Vey!,” he’s Mike’s new bartender. Poignant coming-of-age drama with a contemporary Israeli twist.
