This was an eye opener into the world of love and relationships in an ultra-orthadox Jewish community. The love between husband and wife and family is sacred and the love of God and prayer is ritualized and ongoing. Anything else is forbidden; homosexuality results in the loss of everything - status, work, friendships, and in this film, ultimately the loss of life. As film viewers, we are privy to everything private about this community just as everything is public to its members. People know what is going on in everyone's lives and judge accordingly. Intense and dramatic, joyful and tragic.
