Kaleidoscope

KALEIDOSCOPE portrays Chaim Goldberg's senior year in high school, 1963-64, in which he twists with evolving adolescent ethics in a tearing break-up from the woman he most loves: his mother. He is a genius who escapes a fractured family and triumphs and flourishes because of his indomitable will despite his paradoxical knack for making all the wrong decisions.
