Synopsis

Everything seems peaceful and normal in a small neighborhood of Jerusalem. However, one day, during a religious celebration at the synagogue, the balcony where women are standing falls apart. This is the only spot women can occupy inside the building. Nevertheless, and even though the easiest option seems to reconstruct, men and women initiate a battle, since the rebuilding has no plans to include the balcony again. The women of the neighborhood will team up against men, who are leaded by a misogynistic rabbi, in order to demand a new place for them in the synagogue and get their traditions back. This movie uses a comedy tone in order to portray a topic as dramatic as it is real: women discriminated by religion.
