Description

Naomi moves to Jerusalem to find refuge from the pressure of her life as a concert pianist but finds herself pulled into a struggle between her ultra-Orthodox and secular neighbors. A talented ultra-Orthodox kid from her building befriends her, sneaking in to play her piano. When her neighbors discover that Naomi has been taking organ lessons from a charismatic Italian monk, she is faced with escalating isolation and violence and she must use music to bridge religious difference.
