Kadosh

An internationally acclaimed feature film directed by Amos Gitaï and co-written by Éliette Abécassis. To research this profound screenplay, the author spent six months living in the heart of Mea Shearim, the ultra-orthodox quarter of Jerusalem. Selected for the official competition at the Cannes Film Festival in 1999, this powerful and meticulous drama explores Haredi society, highlighting the weight of religious tradition and the struggle for female autonomy through the lives of two sisters. This landmark artistic collaboration, which received widespread critical acclaim, also served as the inspiration for her renowned novel Sacred (La Répudiée).
