The trial story of Viviane Amsalem's five year fight to obtain her divorce in front of the only legal authority competent for divorce cases in Israel, the Rabbinical Court.

A suffocating, Kafkaesque ordeal. This film feels like being trapped in a bureaucratic maze, where hope dwindles with each procedural step. Yet, Viviane's quiet determination shines through the oppressive atmosphere.
