Michale finds momentary relief from her suffocating life as a dutiful wife, mother to a young son, and employee of her father's Tel Aviv accounting firm in afternoon trysts with her lover. A sudden tragedy forces her to confront unraveling emotions. With a John Cassavetes-style emphasis on mobile camera work and intimate close-ups, French director Raphael Nadjari creates an intense portrait of female resistance to a claustrophobic, male-dominated culture that covers its own sins in a stifling cloak of familial love and religious duty. Winner of the top prize at the Geneva International Film Festival, AVANIM's Assi Levy gives a beautifully nuanced performance.
