Between Worlds
Israel, 2016
Director: Miya Hatav
Hebrew and Arabic with English subtitles
Drama
84 minutes
Wednesday, May 29, 7:00 pm
Visiting their gravely injured son in a Jerusalem hospital in the aftermath of a terrorist attack, Orthodox couple Bina and Meir form a surprising bond with a beautiful young woman, who is seemingly at the hospital to attend to her dying father. As the surprising truth about the young woman’s identity unfolds, they all struggle to accept the unlikely circumstances that have brought them together. Along the way, questions about the nature of faith, acceptance, and understanding loom large.
