Faith in G-d and trust in people: How closely are they connected, and how does one inspire or affect the other?  These are among the profound questions examined in this intense, insightful drama about a barren, young, ultra-Orthodox Israeli couple who turn to both prayers and people for help. A visiting rabbi claims to be a healer of infertile women, but his treatment leads to crises of belief, conscience, and marriage for the couple and their families. Director Mordechai Vardi based his film on true events.
