Lovely film
It is movies like this that make the Sundance subscription so worthwhile.
Wow. I was blown away by this film - the slow pace, the intimate scenes between everybody (and not sexual intimacy, just human intimacy). It was so easy to understand how stifled Meira was and how she longed for adventure, yet when she got her wish, it was so clear that her new life was just as doomed as her previous one. There was no chance for happiness either way. Bleak, but real.
wow_Hadas is great_i feel sorry for her stuck in a dumb religion with a horrible husband_and Martin is ok too_glad they got together even though it's a bit sticky
