Keep Not Silent

Despite the confining atmosphere of the Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, three women try, each in their own way, to fight for their right to love. The problem is that their hearts belong not to men, but to women. Hidden behind curtains or the grainy pictures of web cameras, they gradually expose the battle that each is fighting with themselves and with those close to them. While two of the women have yielded to their natural desires, the third fought for twenty years and suppressed her desire for women, until she inescapably fell in love. Now she is stricken with panic that this will be discovered and that her life with her children will be destroyed. "The Torah guides us throughout our entire lives and is a guide for all situations. Yet it is silent about lesbian love," says one of the women, whose family after time and with heavy hearts accepts that next to her husband and children, she also has an intimate girlfriend. This poetic and very sensitively filmed picture uncovers the wishes and desires which go beyond the scope of the code of Orthodox Jews.
