Screening as part of the 2025 Central Florida Jewish Film Festival.
In an ultra-Orthodox community in Jerusalem, Bati leads a seemingly perfect life with her husband, Lazer, and their three children. But her world begins to crumble when her husband is blackmailed over an affair with his male Torah study partner. Desperate to protect her family and keep the man she loves, she supports Lazer as he attempts to “cure” his homosexuality. Surprising and suspenseful, this nuanced and provocative character study explores a marriage in peril and two young people desperate to save each other while confronting their own desires. With moments of levity and superb character-driven storytelling, Nir Bergman’s restrained direction gains depth from strong performances and from the real-life experiences of the film’s screenwriter Mindi Ehrlich, who was raised and married in Jerusalem’s Hasidic world. Told from Bati’s point of view, it boldly addresses taboo subjects from a uniquely female perspective.

“An impressive debut…the acting is superb throughout. An understated slice-of-life family drama that encompasses elements of mystery, thriller and, at moments, sex comedy, that are simultaneously funny and unsettling.”
– Simi Horwitz, THE FORWARD -
“A sad, poignant look at an ultra-Orthodox Jewish couple, living in Jerusalem, and what happens when the wife discovers that her husband is attracted to men. Sensitively written by Mindi Ehrlich, (this is) a complex portrait of a woman desperately trying to understand her husband and her place in the marriage.”
– Frank J. Avella, THE CONTENDING -
“4-Stars! Screenwriter Mindi Ehrlich brings a freshness to the subject by focusing on the female perspective of events. It’s the hopefulness at the heart of their tragedy that really kills you.”
– Amber Wilkinson, EYE FOR FILM -
“Explores the fragility of faith and identity…a nuanced portrayal of ultra-Orthodox Jewish life with authenticity.”
