The Traveler's Prayer

Directed by Elkie Hershberg

With Hila-Lena Royzenman, Rivka Michaeli and Roni Kuban

Mirka, new to the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish world, makes her way from the back of a gender-segregated bus to the front, to save her celiac son Raphael from a cookie containing gluten. This simple act constitutes a challenge to the conventions of the society in which Mirka lives and to which she tries to belong.
