An accident during a bar mitzvah celebration leads to a gender rift in a devout Orthodox community in Jerusalem in this rousing, gold-hearted tale about women speaking truth to patriarchal power.

When the women’s balcony in an Orthodox synagogue collapses leaving the current Rabbi in shock and his wife in a coma, the congregation falls into crisis. Charismatic newcomer Rabbi David appears to be a savior after the accident, but slowly starts pushing his fundamentalist ways much to the outrage of the female congregants. These changes test the women’s friendships and create an almost Lysistrata-type rift between the community’s women and men.

Opening Night Party to be held at the AFI Silver Theatre immediately following the screening. Catering by Provisions.
