Yuri Kovner is 23 when his father's death triggers his return to the tight-knit Hassidic community of Jewish Sydney. But Yuri is longing not for home, but for intimacy. Something that's forbidden to him within the sheltered community he is struggling to understand. Jewboy is a drama filled with longing, humour and hope about a young man finding his own place in the world.
