This is an exceptional film. Well, I’ll start by saying I would have a lot of trouble being a Hasidic Jew.

Too many rules – many of which make little sense – an absolutely male oriented society – no feminists allowed. We follow a young newly married pregnant girl with a deep love of music who runs away from all she knows to see what lies ahead for her out of her element. I must say I as a lapsed Catholic, at the age of 18, wouldn’t have had the courage she has shown in this quest for self-actualization.

This series has won a lot of well – deserved awards. The lead actress is deeply talented..
