About film
A film about a religious Jewish couple who secretly live a secular life behind closed doors. Vered (Noa Koler) and Avihai (Assi Cohen), an observant Jewish couple, uphold every tradition in public but privately watch television on Shabbat – the holiest day in Judaism. Their carefully maintained world unravels when their teenage daughter unexpectedly catches them in the act. This incident sets off a quiet storm of defiance within the family, testing both their authority and their faith.
