Viviane Amsalem demande le divorce depuis trois ans, et son mari, Elisha, le lui refuse. Or en Israël, seuls les Rabbins peuvent prononcer un mariage et sa dissolution, qui n'est elle-même possible qu'avec le plein consentement du mari. Sa froide obstination, la détermination de Viviane de lutter pour sa liberté, et le rôle ambigu des juges dessinent les contours d'une procédure où le tragique le dispute à l'absurde, où l'on juge de tout, sauf de la requête initiale. (Les Films du Losange)

Probably the first Israeli film that stuck in my head for some time after seeing it. That premise has to resonate in anybody, because the Israeli view on marriage is really something I cannot comprehend. The actress Ronit Elkabeth plays perfectly the married character who wants to get a divorce. However, her husband doesn’t want to and makes her life a living hell. To be able to get a divorce she needs her husband’s permission and also the permission of a Jewish court; in either case nobody is on her side. The current practices in Israel truly shocked me. They don’t belong to the western world and the film is great at pointing that law out. It is a film full of dialogue that predominantly takes place in the courtroom and doesn’t let you get bored for full two hours. All you need is to accept the narration mode after the first half an hour and then you just ride along and stare speechlessly…
