Talmud scholar Eliezer Shkolnik has worked in obscurity at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University. In contrast, Eliezer’s son, Uriel, also an academic, has published many books and received numerous accolades. Eliezer looks down on his son’s achievements and pursuit of fame, and so the pair have a rocky relationship. Their rivalry comes to a head when Eliezer receives word that, at long last, he is the recipient of the prestigious Israeli Prize.
Working for television, he designed the miniseries Our Boys for HBO and Keshet Studios, for which he won an Israeli Television Academy Award, and the thriller drama Absentia for Sony Pictures Television.
He is a member of the British Film Designers Guild, and the European Film Academy. He is a father of three, and lives in a loving domestic partnership with acclaimed writer/director Maysaloun Hamoud.
