Part of a tight-knit religious family in Jerusalem, we meet director Avigail Sperber as she endures a breakup with her girlfriend and struggles to raise a child without her. Then another test arrives with the release from prison of her little sister, a troubled young Ethiopian woman, who questions the family’s strength with accusations of conditional love. While their mother sets boundaries to protect herself from more betrayal, all nine brothers and sisters worry about the possibility of relapse. A deeply honest and sympathetic portrait of a multi-generational family in crisis, this film brilliantly parallels the struggles of an adopted daughter with those of cultural, ethnic, and religious assimilation. The rules that govern her court-ordered probation are clear-cut. Those that govern her position in the family are less so. (AV)
