As part of his bar mitzvah preparation, a reluctant boy finds himself spending time with a decidedly grumpy resident of a Leeds care home. Neither is thrilled with the arrangement. Starring Anton Lesser (Game of Thrones), Beshert is a lovely little film about an unexpected friendship between two people at very different points in their Jewish lives.
