In order to visit his father, who works as a doctor in Israel after his economic exile in 2001, Ivo Aichenbaum accepts to take part in a free cultural tour with a group of young Jews. With his portable camera, he records this experience and as a result, we get a reflexive travel diary. "The automatic part" combines the oddness of the meeting of a son with his father and a tour that seems to be done to generate cohesion within Judaism. Built on a critical as well as unsettling point of view, this film discusses topics such as inheritance, identity, ideology, and love, through constant exploration of both the individual and collective origins of Judaism and the left wings politics. The title of the film, "The automatic part", refers to a children's game that works as a means of creating an identity as a son and as a filmmaker.
