Mordechai Vardi

63 min | 2020 | Israel | US Premiere

This film explores the lives of Orthodox-Jewish LGBT members who willingly choose to marry heterosexuals and raise a heteronormative family, obeying the rules of society while denying their own identities, bringing about marriages with a partner who cannot give them what they really need, physically or emotionally and resulting in children growing up in a distorted family system. Although the film deals with Orthodox Jewish society, it is a universal theme, because in all religions around the world same-sex marriage is forbidden, and all over the world many LGBT people try to disguise their identity by "normative marriage".
