SYNOPSIS
The wedding night is a night of nights in ultra-Orthodox society. On this night, a man and a woman connect physically for the very first time. These two very young people, almost complete strangers to each other, are put under enormous pressure to go from forced separation towards an intimate union. Ultra-Orthodox director Rachel Elitzur uses rare testimonies, combined with visuals from the wedding day, to create an astonishing film that is both respectful and challenging to her community.
