Synopsis
A little-known travesty of modern Israeli society, where despite an otherwise democratic government, marriage and divorce remain the sole jurisdiction of the Orthodox rabbinical courts. If a man refuses to grant his wife a divorce, she may spend years battling for her freedom as the courts obstinately rule in the man's favor despite evidence of adultery, physical abuse, or even child endangerment. Tracing the stories of three women as they struggle for freedom, the filmmaker smuggles her camera into the court itself, surreptitiously capturing audio of the sneering judges to offer an unsettling glimpse into the workings of state-sanctioned misogyny.
