Book of Ruth

Directed by Esti Biton Shushan

With אורי אלבי, Meshi Kleinstein, Ishai Golan, Mickey Leon and Reymonde Amsallem

Ruth and Shmuel, a young couple from the ultra-Orthodox world, thought they knew everything about love. She, a sensitive young mother, constantly tests boundaries—but with grace. He, a brilliant yeshiva student, has a promising future in the yeshiva world. But when tragedy hits them, everything they believed about family, community, parenting—and even God—is put to the test. RUTH is a moving, intimate drama with surreal moments. A story about two people trying not to lose each other, yet speaking different languages that widen the emotional and religious gap between them, in a world where asking questions—especially the hard ones—is forbidden.
