This is a heart-warming movie based on a true story: iMordecai stars Academy Award-nominated and two-time Emmy-winning actor Judd Hirsch as Mordecai Samuels and Academy Award-nominated actress Carol Kane, as his wife, Fela, both survivors from Poland, who are now living in Miami. Their son, Marvin is an ambitious cigar maker trying to support his own family while still being there for his aging parents. But when Mordecai's ancient flip phone breaks, he starts to take lessons from Nina, a young employee of Ultratech. She tutors Mordecai on his new iPhone, opening him up to all kinds of novel experiences and adventures, which makes him feel like a kid again.
