Assaf, a shy, awkward 17-year-old, is yanked from his mundane summer job and given an impossible task: to track down the owner of a lost Labrador found wandering the streets of Jerusalem. A riveting ride at the end of a Labrador's leash, he follows the dog on a circuitous path, piecing together the incredible story behind the owner's disappearance. The owner, Tamar, a gifted musician on a desperate quest, is ensnared in an seamy underworld that captivates Assaf. Someone to Run With follows Assaf and Tamar on parallel timelines, highlighting the distance between them, their tests of courage, and the loneliness they must endure until their narratives finally converge. Both are on an accelerated journey into adulthood, self-discovery, and first love. A heartfelt and surprisingly hopeful story, based on the best-selling novel by David Grossman. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Miami International Film Festival.
