This remarkable feature debut by Rama Burshtein -the first Orthodox woman to make a film meant for wide mainstream distribution - was picked up by Sony Picture Classics and was Israel's Official Submission for Best Foreign Language Film in 2012. The story focuses on Shira who is about to be married off to a young man when her sister suddenly dies in childbirth, leaving behind a husband and newborn. In order to keep her only grandchild close to her, Shira's mother proposes that she marry her brother-in-law. The film advances an insider's view of Orthodox life in Tel Aviv and a revolutionary portrayal of female sexuality and agency that counteracts stereotypes and posits that it is women who call the shots.
