Charlie's father dies, and the one thing he leaves him is a used car. In his search for the lost inheritance money, Charlie learns that he has an older brother named Raymond, a man on the autism spectrum; moreover, all of his father's money has gone to the institution serving as a domicile for Raymond. To save his business from bankruptcy, Charlie decides to gain control over the inherited money by kidnapping Raymond. The two brothers go on an odyssey with many ups and downs, during which they learn to know each other. A moving and - at times – very funny play about the special needs we all seem to have.

  • Reviews:
    "A recommended show. Dvir Benedek and Dan Shapira delightfully portray the roles Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise played in the movie. The audience is carried away by this sensitive drama, filled with mixed emotions: empathy, disgust, compassion, and laughter." (Puenta)
