Plot
During one of the most horrible outbreaks in a deadly plague, a women must save her Jewish community of the cruelty of the strangers invasors making a golem that will protect them from the villains. The problem is that entity which she conjures to protect them has a cruelness that she hadn't expected.
'Golem' is based in the Jewish folklore and mythology (even when it is know around the world thanks to films and series), in which the golems are animated beings made of mud or clay. They are very obedients (they make their task putting a piece of paper in the hole of its mouth), they can't talk and they have some of the most sad and atrocious legends around them. In fact, the oldest legend comes from the Rabi of Prague.

Trivia
No Golem in the last 100 years
About how they came up with this idea, Doron and Yoav have said: "We realized that nobody ever did a Golem film in the last hundred years and Golem stories were something we grew up on. It?s like the Jewish Frankenstein".
No, then yes
Hani Furstenberg heard it?s a horror movie and didn?t want to do it. She didn?t even come to the audition. Then, when she goes back home to New York, she read the script. She realized it wasn't really a horror movie, so she accepted.
The old tales
The most famous mythological Golem story is about the Rabbi in Prague. The basic elements of all the different versions are always the same. There are people trying to destroy Jewish villages and kill the Jews. The rabbi creates a Golem out of mud and clay and prayers and it comes to life. The Golem saves the city or town, but eventually the Golem goes out of control and is unstoppable. Finally, the rabbi has to kill it.
