The year is 1996. Naomi, the daughter of an ultra-Orthodox Dayan, Rabbi Hess, manages to convince her father to postpone her wedding and allow her to study at a girls’ seminary in Safed. She shares her subversive dream of becoming the first Orthodox female rabbi only with Debori, the head of her school.

Davori, who promised Naomi’s father to prepare Naomi for married life,  breaks her promise and chooses Naomi to be Michelle’s companion, a wayward student, who was sent to seminary as punishment for a dark and secret sin. Thee relationship between Naomi and Michelle sweeps them both into unexpected realms and threatens to destroy all her dreams.

A coming-of-age story in a world where it is forbidden to dream outside the rules.
