In an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Jerusalem, Bati has a seemingly perfect life. She is happily married to Lazer and the young couple have three children. But their world starts to crumble when Lazer is blackmailed and Bati discovers his secret affair with his male study partner. Desperate to protect her family and keep the man she loves, she supports Lazer as he attempts to “cure” his homosexuality, whilst uncovering her true desires.
“A deceptively simple film that explores sexuality and desire within an insular and restrictive Haredi community … Though the film offers a harsh critique of its world, it is never strident or even obvious.” – The Forward
“It’s the hopefulness at the heart of their tragedy that really kills you.” – Eye For Film
