Mom leaves, without saying a word. Her 17 years old girl is left behind, to deal with life on her own. Lonely, poor, and carrying a financial debt as big as her broken heart. And as if to provoke reality, her house gets violently broken into, leaving nothing intact behind. But, the abbeys caused by this event, sends her to quest forbidden territories, where she finds life, passion, and love.
Hagar Ben-Asher’s feature debut, The Slut, was presented in the Semaine de la Criticque section of the 2011 Cannes Festival and won the Best Director Award at the Jerusalem Festival.
