All I Ask

He's misunderstood, he's unwashed, he's penniless. But Lulu, a homeless beggar living on the edges of Jerusalem's neighborhoods, has different goals for his young friend Bugi. He wants to see Bugi gainfully employed and comfortably housed. As he skirts the inner circle Bugi has formed, can he bridge the chasm formed by long-ago wounds?

All I Ask brings us into the dark refuges near Jerusalem's bus station, the life-changing lectures of a watchmaker who knows the secrets of the human spirit, and the battlefield of the human soul.
