Sixty Six -- 12 year-old Bernie is ignored by his own family.

With his upcoming Bar Mitzvah, however, Bernie believes he can finally gain the attention he deserves. He begins to plan the perfect ceremony and reception, where everyone assembled will acknowledge his new status as a man. Unfortunately for Bernie, things do not quite go according to plan. It's the summer of '66 and the country's soccer team makes it to the World Cup Final - set for the very same day. With England caught up in the games, Bernie is in danger of being overlooked again on his big day . Based on the real life experience of the director, Paul Weiland, 'Sixty Six' is a charming comedy with heart-warming qualities reminiscent of 'Billy Elliot' and 'Love Actually.'
