An all-star cast is featured in MJFF 2017 film The Women’s Balcony, a joyful, good hearted, and charming film that’s set around a divided Sephardic community in Jerusalem trying to find the right path to happiness. Awash with the warm glow of Jerusalem’s uncommonly beautiful light, this warm, poignant portrait presents a rousing and good-hearted tale about a modern Orthodox community struggling to balance religious protocol with practical, progressive values.
