    An insight into the daily life of Orthodox Jews in Israel

    A warm, interesting, enjoyable film about the everyday life of an Orthodox Jewish couple. Beautifully acted, very natural - seeming and involving, looking at the way that they relate to each other, to difficult situations and to God, and the way in which their faith affects their behaviour. By turns amusing and touching. No heavy political message, no violence, no sex scenes, and hardly any swearing! Uplifting.

    decent film

    movie with subtitles, but gives you an insight into how orthodox jews lived and I though it was a decent film. Good storyline, better than some I have seen lately. 7/10
