PINK LADY

With Nur Fibak, Uri Blufarb

Jerusalem’s ultra-Orthodox community is the setting for a comedy/drama of a marriage in crisis when the husband’s secret desires are outed by criminals intent on blackmail.  Bati (Fibak), a mother of three happily married to devout and seriously observant Lazer (Blufarb) receives a mysterious envelope in the mail one day.  It contains graphic photos of her husband kissing another man.  Amid denials and flimsy claims of Photoshopping, Bati takes a new look at her man.  An unexpected encounter with a very unusual woman causes her to take a fresh look at herself.  Prolific award-winning director Bergman entertainingly opens a Pandora’s Box of issues — Orthodox family values, homosexuality and conversion therapy.  In Hebrew with English subtitles.
