One Too Many

Kobi uses a little known loophole in Jewish law – the signatures of 100 Rabbis – in order to marry again, despite the fact his first wife is not deceased. However, the first wife wakes up from her coma as he is marrying his second, and Kobi must make a choice between the two women.

French Revolution
A noisy disturbance from some young men on the street erupts into Noni and Tamar’s home, shattering their evening. The violence that ensues raises questions for both of them about fear and ethics, testing the relationship between them to the limit.
