Watch the trailer here.

Set in a Bedouin village in southern Israel, the film focuses on female characters who are atypically rebellious. It’s framed by two weddings: a second wife’s marriage to an iron-willed matriarch’s husband, and the arranged marriage of the first wife’s unruly daughter. Despite the celebrations, these are not especially joyous unions, at least for the brides. It was selected as the Israeli entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 89th Academy Awards.
