Sometimes i accidentally find random movies that are so amazing that I feel i must have done something very good in my life before.
This movie was one of them that i found in my desperate search of something to watch on a Saturday afternoon. The movie is originally in Hebrew and is totally Jewish (I don't know how else i can say it to be politically correct). During the movie i had some problems realizing how things work and what are the roles of different people , but in general, the culture was somehow close to any other religious communities.
The story is about an 18 year old girl, whose time to get married is approaching when suddenly her pregnant sister passes away and the family decide to make the girl get married to the husband of their deceased daughter . ( I watched a Persian movie with almost the same storyline about 10 years ago, so i suspected maybe that is how they got the idea, but this movie turned out very differently than the Persian one).
At first the girl shows that she accepts the offer only because that is what is proper and everyone expect that from her, ( The husband apparently does not care that much who to marry , I wonder why ? NOT)
But at the end we realize the girl , herself had a forbidden love to her sister's husband, Or that i what i got from the movie ;D
In general , it was a very soft, emotional movie , good acts and i could easily connect to it , though it was in another language.
Something interesting i got from this movie was that though women in Jewish communities are valued based on whether they are married or not and getting married is a huge part of their life which to my surprise happens in less that 24 hour ( parents decide about your husband or wife, you see each other for some hours and then get married) , but the role of women in family is a very strong role , they are respected and they make decisions.
I would recommend watching this movie to any foreign movie lover ;D and give 6.5 from 10 to it.
