Synopsis

Shot in Tel-Aviv, this film is about Jews who were raised Ultra-Orthodox and then made the choice to become secular. For most of them, this decision meant severing ties with their families and the community and setting out alone to find their footing in an unfamiliar society where everything had to be relearned. —Aurora Films

Original

Valérie Mréjen

Valérie Mréjen was born in 1969 in Paris. Graduated from an art school, she became interested in the various means of expressions to better explore the possibilities of language. She began editing art books in small runs before shooting her first videos. Her work has been exhibited widely in France and abroad, including the Jeu de Paume in 2008. She has directed several short films, two documentaries (Pork and Milk, 2004, Valvert, 2008) and a feature film, En ville_, in 2010. She has also published three stories (_Mon grand-père, 1999, L’Agrume, 2001, Eau sauvage, 2004) Editions Allia.—
