Or Hadash Film Festival - Selection #3 - "The Secrets"

 

The Secrets      Saturday May 6, 2017 7:30 PM

Drama about young women studying Talmud in a girls' seminary.  They come from disparate backgrounds and are joined on a mission to help an ex-convict, a woman who is dying and seeks to find forgiveness.  The setting is the ultra-spiritual city of Safed. The story revolves around the role of women in orthodoxy in Israel.  (PG 16 rating for brief nudity in a ritual bath and a fairly chaste ( and clothed) sex scene.) 

This thoughtful film should generate an interesting discussion.
