Pork and Milk
Shot in Tel Aviv, the film deals with individuals from ultra-orthodox backgrounds who decide to stop being practicing Jews. For most of them, this means a complete break with their family and community, leaving them to fend for themselves in a new society with which they are unfamiliar. The film interweaves interviews with nine people: some have fled religious life at an early age, ready to pay the price for their independence. Others did not wish to be filmed, fearful that their families discover a reality they still cannot accept. One of the subjects had become orthodox before doing an about-face, thus having to give up seeing his wife and children again.
