Plot
A drama about two sisters in an ultra-Orthodox community in Jerusalem.
Sinekatalog’s take
Amos Gitai's drama follows two sisters in a Jerusalem ultra-Orthodox community, one barren and pressured, one in love with a forbidden man. Meital Barda and Yael Abecassis are moving in a tough, critical film about faith and women's constraints.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
