Facing a crossroads in life, Harry Rosenmerck (Academy award nominee James Caan) leaves New York and his family with an unlikely plan to start a pig farm in Nazareth, causing the anger of neighboring local communities. His conflict with the town Rabbi, Moshe Cattan (BAFTA award winner Tom Hollander) slowly turns into a friendship that leads him to reevaluate his relationship with his estranged family, including his difficult ex-wife, 34-year-old student daughter, and playwrighting son David. HOLY LANDS is an emotional, humorous and dramatic story about the passage of time and the connections between people and family.

Adapting her critically acclaimed novel Les Terres Saintes, Amanda Sthers writes and directs HOLY LANDS, which explores the complicated lives of the Rosenmerck family.

Lapsed Jew Harry (James Caan) is a former cardiologist who suddenly decided to spend his retirement as a pig farmer in Nazareth, Israel, in a move which deeply shocks his family, the local community and rabbi, Moshe (Tom Hollander). Back in New York, his ex-wife Monica (Rosanna Arquette) is trying to manage the lives of their adult children Annabelle (Efrat For) and David (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), as well as her own, after finding out she has a brain tumour.

Filmed in the iconic landscapes of Israel, HOLY LANDS is a universal story about love, family, loss and tolerance, told with incredible humour and heart through career best performances by a stellar ensemble cast.
