From the notes: Provocative albeit understated about a married Orthodox Jewish father of four who falls for a 22 year old male student. Aaron, a butcher who lives a very conservative life in the ultra-Orthodox part of Jerusalem, takes on Ezri, a handsome Yeshiva scholar, as an apprentice. Aaron, who feels an emptiness in his life, battles with but is drawn to the young man's attractive lustfulness in a world of extreme intolerance. A film which challenges a man's relationship with his family, community and God. Eyes generated considerable controversy but still won Best Actor Award at the Jerusalem Film Festival.
