Two ultra-Orthodox women refuse to keep quiet about the abuse happening in their community. One speaks up for her three sons who have been abused by their teacher, the admired rabbi. The other one was raped by her father, also a famous rabbi, when she was a little girl.
When they speak up against the sexual offenses and pedophilia, the whole community turns against them and defend the men. The only help comes from another woman who works for a global Jewish organisation aiming to create a change regarding sexual abuse in the community.
In a society where people usually shy away from cameras, the victims invite the filmmaker and give their testimony as it has never been seen or recorded before.
Director Dalit Kimor about the documentary: "Women in these communities rarely allowed to speak in public, and of course not allowed to be filmed. It was the hardest film I have ever made, the protagonists where terrified of the expose and what people may say, but eventually decided to do it in hope that it will make a change for other people."
