Trapped in a loveless marriage, Viviane Amsalem has long sought a divorce from her devout husband Elisha. But under Israeli law, all divorce proceedings are overseen by an Orthodox rabbinical court, which can only dissolve a marriage with the husband's consent. And despite the estrangement, Elisha refuses to grant Viviane a gett (divorce papers), inciting a riveting domestic battle of wills.  This film is Not Rated.
