In the tightly knit Orthodox Jewish community of London, a seismic disruption occurs when a beloved rabbi passes away, prompting the return of his estranged daughter, Ronit, played by Rachel Weisz. Her arrival from New York stirs old wounds and long-suppressed desires, particularly when she reunites with her childhood friend Esti, portrayed by Rachel McAdams, who is now married to the rabbi's successor and her cousin, Dovid, played by Alessandro Nivola. Directed by Sebastian Lelio, this intense drama explores the forbidden love that once bound Ronit and Esti, a passion that reignites against the backdrop of strict religious doctrine and community expectation. As the two women navigate their rekindled connection, they must confront the painful choices between personal freedom, faith, and the obligations of family. The film's atmospheric tension and raw emotional performances create a powerful meditation on identity and the courage it takes to defy the rules that define one’s world.
