movie

Ruth and Shmuel Ben David, a young Haredi couple who adhere to ultra-Orthodox Judaism, have been excitedly preparing for their son Shrulik's chalaka, a traditional first haircut ceremony that occurs when a child turns three. Unfortunately, the event never takes place because Shrulik tragically passes away after his father accidentally forgets him in the car. Both parents are plagued by feelings of guilt and sorrow. Ruth, meanwhile, is caught between her own grief, the expectations of her community and family, and her relationship with Shmuel. To cope with his anguish and absolve himself of wrongdoing, Shmuel becomes increasingly devout. As the couple grapples with the ultimate test of their marriage, God looms ever-present in the background.
