Just like Avi Nesher’s previous masterpieces - Turn Left at the End of the World, The Secrets, The Matchmaker, and Past Life - the director, in a humorous, loving and very original fashion, explores the very heart of the Israeli matter.

In The Other Story, a willful young woman (Joy Rieger, Past Life) suddenly decides to marry a member of Jerusalem’s insular orthodox community (Nathan Goshen). Her divorced secular parents (Yuval Segal and Maya Dagan) and grandfather (Sasson Gabai, The Band’s Visit) connive a plot to thwart the upcoming nuptial, with unforeseen results.
