Drama
In a repressive orthodox culture where women are forbidden to speak out, Naomi is a rare creature, an intelligent young woman who yearns to learn more about her faith and perhaps become a rabbi like her father.
Postponing her arranged marriage so she can go study at a Jewish seminary for women, Naomi's devout faith and belief system is rocked when the Western influenced Michelle joins the school. The two young women quickly develop a friendship that turns into more when their asked to look after the mysterious and ailing Anouk who seeks absolution for her mysterious past.
This is a beautifully made film of Naomi's journey into womanhood, the struggle she faces to be true to herself and her faith, and the threat her love for Michelle poses in the orthodox world.
