Trapped in a loveless marriage, an Israeli woman has been applying for a divorce (gett) for three years, but can’t get one without her husband’s full consent.
In modern Israel only Orthodox rabbis can legalize a union or its dissolution, and the latter also requires the husband’s full consent. Trapped in a loveless marriage, Viviane Amsalem has been applying for a divorce (gett) for three years but her devout husband continually refuses. This uncompromising, heart-rending portrait of a woman’s struggle to overcome an unmoving patriarchy has won awards worldwide and ignited a firestorm at home. D: Ronit & Shlomi Elkabetz, Israel, subtitled, 2015, 115m
