The year 2000 approaches in Jerusalem's Orthodox Mea Shearim quarter, where the women work, keep house, and have children so the men can study the Torah and the Talmud. Rivka is happily and passionately married to Meir, but they remain childless. The yeshiva's rabbi, who is Meir's father, wants Meir to divorce Rivka: "a barren woman is no woman." Rivka's sister, Malka, is in love with Yakov, a Jew shunned by the yeshiva as too secular.

We're all supposed to think this is "art", but like so many such films it's painfully tedious, complete with time- and money-saving long takes that kill a film stone dead

The interplay between religion, gender roles and sexuality in real life is very complex. This film is a take on one side of it. I'm still waiting for a movie to explore the side I find most relevant: how the culture of "free sexuality" actually oppresses people who don't comfortably fit in stereotypical gender roles, and how allying with religious conservatives can actually be better for these people.
