Inspired by true events, PAST LIFE tracks the daring 1977 trans-European odyssey of two sisters – one an introverted ambitious classical music composer, and the other a combative liberal magazine editor.
In The Other Story, awillful young woman (Joy Rieger, Past Life) suddenly decides to marry a member of Jerusalem’s insular orthodox community (Nathan Goshen). Her divorced secular parents (Yuval Segal and Maya Dagan) and grandfather (SassonGabai, The Band’s Visit) connive a plot to thwart the upcoming nuptial, with unforeseen results. |
