Apples from the Desert

Directed by Arik Lubetzki and Matti Harari

With Moran Rosenblatt, Shlomi Koriat, Reymonde Amsallem, Irit Kaplan and Elisha Banai

Based on the award-winning play and popular Israeli short story, this poignant family drama follows Rivka, 19-years-old and strong-willed, who struggles to follow the conservative lifestyle of her ultra-orthodox parents in Jerusalem. Determined to break free from her parents’ rigid worldview, she runs away to a secular farming community in the desert. The decision pushes the two generations to confront the chasm between their stringent views of tradition and modernity.
