Neseh: Mickey’s son is getting married today at the winery that he himself has owned and cherished for decades. For 24 years Mickey has preserved a special barrel of wine to open for this occasion. But minutes before the ceremony, the rabbi who is the kosher supervisor at the winery, witnesses a non-Jew touching the wine, thus rendering it “Neseh” (forbidden to all Jews). Mickey wants to serve the wine anyway (who’s to know?), but the rabbi is going to make damn sure it doesn’t leave the cellar.
Source of Beauty: Yaeli, an ultra-Orthodox young woman, carries a secret that may destroy her chances of happiness.

Ultra-Orthodox director Rachel Elitzur uses rare testimonies, combined with visuals from the wedding day, to create an astonishing film that is both respectful and challenging to her community.
