Description

A film by Arik Lubetzky & Matti Harari

Rebecca is the only daughter of an Orthodox family living in Jerusalem. Unhappy with the restrictive traditions of her home and community, Rebecca secretly opens herself to the secular world. When her stern father reacts with antagonism, Rebecca’s mother and aunt are appalled at his behavior, but they dare not defy the authoritarian man of the household. While her parents struggle with the repercussions, Rebecca finds secular life more complicated than she had anticipated. Based on the bestselling collection of stories by Savyon Leibrecht.
