The Secrets

A studious, devoutly religious daughter of a prominent rabbi convinces her father to postpone her marriage for a year so that she might study at a Jewish seminary for women. But her quest for individuality takes a defiant turn when she befriends a free-spirited, headstrong fellow student. Nominated for 8 Israeli Film Academy Awards and co-starring the great French actress, Fanny Ardant (Ridicule, 8 Women), THE SECRETS is an extraordinary, entertaining, and daring look at a forbidden world.

“One of the best Israeli films of recent years, THE SECRETS is an emotionally overpowering drama. The film’s mix of sensuality and spirituality is arresting.”
