Indignation

Based on the novel by Philip Roth.

Set in 1951, a working class Jewish boy from Newark, New Jersey, travels on scholarship to a small, conservative college in Ohio, thus exempting him from being drafted into the Korean War. Once there, his growing infatuation with his beautiful classmate, and his clashes with the college’s imposing Dean, put his and his family’s best laid plans to the ultimate test. In English and Hebrew languages.
