In the movie "La noche que luché contra Dios" (The Night I Fought Against God), the plot revolves around young doctor Benjamín Sheinberg who, after experiencing the traumatic event of the AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires, decides to travel to Israel. Seeking solace and understanding, he embarks on a journey into the past through the help of Rubén, an old friend of his grandfather.
As Benjamín delves deeper into the ancient history of Israel, he begins to see himself reflected in the character of Jacob, an important figure from the Bible. Through this connection, the film explores the parallels between their lives and experiences.
The narrative alternates between Benjamín's present-day struggles with his own identity and purpose, and the events surrounding Jacob's life in ancient times. The movie draws on Jacob's story, including his complex relationships with his father, siblings, and wives, to draw parallels to the challenges Benjamín faces within his own family and his own search for meaning.
Through this metaphorical journey, Benjamín confronts his personal demons, questions his own beliefs, and learns valuable lessons about love, faith, and the human condition. The film ultimately encourages the audience to consider the timeless aspects of human existence and the universal struggles that connect us through time and space.
