Modesty
For the first time, father and daughter, both filmmakers, discuss their differing levels of commitment to Jewish law. They embark on a cinematic journey to explore the discourse on sexuality within the religious Zionist community. They turn the camera toward the gaps between religious texts and real-life experiences, aiming to shed light on unresolved issues in education, community life, and romantic relationships. The film examines boundaries, dynamics between men and women, and taboo subjects not usually discussed. Key questions include whether romance is possible while observing "Negiah" - the Jewish law forbidding physical contact, and whether there's a place for feminism in a conservative society.
