Inclination
In Inclination, a Jewish family inherits their estranged grandmother’s crumbling home. When the 12-year-old son discovers a sealed room, he unwittingly unleashes the grandmother’s long-buried Yetzer Hara—the “evil inclination.” As the Yetzer Hara begins to influence the boy, the family must confront not only a supernatural threat, but also their fractured relationship to heritage and each other.
