Oysher stars as a wayward youth who makes his way from his Polish shtetl to New York's Lower East Side where he is "discovered" and becomes a well-known singer. Ultimately, he returns home to the Old Country and reunites with his parents and his childhood sweetheart.
Znachor Synopsis

"The Cantor's Son" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Znachor" offers its own unique cult appeal.
