Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot entirely within Israel's ultra-Orthodox community with actual community members—rare access that required extensive trust-building.
The film deliberately never shows the 'treatment' directly; we experience it through Feigi's dissociated aftermath, mirroring how trauma lives in the body before the mind.
