Weary of daily life in his native village of Chelm,Shmendrik sets out on a quest for knowledge that brings him to a new Chelm,a place remarkably like the old Chelm, down to the chicken's reminiscent clucks. Based on a Jewish folk tale, adapted by John Lazarus, Village of Idiots is the story of Shmendrik' new life; offering an extremely funny take on our tendency to romanticize what we don't have.
