Overview

Nominated for 9 Israeli Academy Awards (The Ophir Awards), including Best Film, writer-director Benny Fredman’s intense portrayal, based on personal experiences, offers a troubling yet potent commentary on the intersection of free will and religious dogmatism. In his explosive true-crime drama, a newly married young man’s ambition to open a computer store in his ultra-Orthodox Jerusalem neighborhood begets a shocking clash of tradition versus modernity.
