A Quiet Heart (Lev shaket meod)
Part of the World Perspectives Strand
This gently powerful and elegantly performed film tackles the tensions between Israel’s ultra-Orthodox community and those of the secular persuasion. Eitan Anner’s award-winning third film is an engrossing glimpse into a subject rarely tackled. It is given subtle energy thanks to a taut and intriguing lead performance from Ania Bukstein as Naomi, a young woman who has fled Tel Aviv for Jerusalem to reassess her life, but who can only afford an apartment in a predominantly Orthodox area of the city.
