SEARCH FOR OTHERS - FIND YOURSELF.
Best Film Award - Bari International Film Festival
Mili Avital (Stargate), Ori Pfeffer (Monument, Hacksaw Ridge), Moni Moshonov (Late Marriage, America), Menashe Noy (Gett, Tehran), Ana Ularu, Alban Ukaj, Serhii Kysil, and Marc Rissmann (Game of Thrones) star in a sweeping English-language saga based on the beloved novel of Israeli author Meir Shalev, The Loves Of Judith.
1970. Esther, a tormented American in her forties, receives a letter after the death of her mother: she must find a woman who lived in the 30s in Palestine and keeps a secret about her life. Esther begins her search in Israel, helped by Zayde, a university professor with a particular background.
1930. A village of settlers, the atmosphere of a new world. Moshe, a widower with two children, hires a woman to help him. The arrival of Yehudit changes the life of Moshe and two other men: Yaakov, a romantic farmer, and Globerman, a cattle dealer. An exciting and tragic love story begins.
By tying together the threads that bind past and present, Esther and Zayde will discover a shocking truth.
“A work that feels intimate, human, and timeless... Do yourself a favor—brave the subway and go see it”
- Nina Kossman, East West Literary Forum
“A universally relatable story with a poignant twist” - The Jewish Voice and Opinion
“A Patient Drama With Frayed Edges” - Overly Honest Film Reviews
"Ultimately, it’s a star-studded, expansive, and sweeping story about love and fierce Jewish women"
