F. Murray Abraham, Caroline Aaron, Noam Ash & Charlie Barnett Board ‘Bookends’
5X Media has green-lit its first feature film, “Bookends,” starring Academy Award Winner F Murray Abraham, Caroline Aaron, Noam Ash and Charlie Barnett.
But when his Holocaust-surviving grandfather, Saul (Abraham), shows signs of cognitive decline and his grandmother, Miriam (Aaron), refuses to acknowledge her husband’s early signs of dementia, Nate finds himself torn between his desire to escape retirement community life, family responsibilities, and an unexpected romance with his grandparents’ doctor (Barnett). It has a rare combination of humor and heart that cuts across generational lines in a deeply profound way,” said producers and 5X partners Scott Einbinder ( Killer Joe, Hitman’s Bodyguard) and Alon Shtruzman ( Tatami, La Brea, Echo 3). “The film celebrates the beautiful messiness of life, the resilience of the human spirit, and the unbreakable bonds that tie us to those we love across generations,” adds Doyle.
