The Other Story

The Other Story A Film by: Avi Nesher (Israel, 2018, 112 min, Hebrew, English subtitles, Cast: Sasson Gabai, Joy Rieger, Yuval Segal, Maya Dagan, Nathan Goshen, Avigail Harari, Maayan Bloom

 Just like Avi Nesher’s previous masterpieces Turn Left at the End of the World, The Secrets, The Matchmaker, and Past Life, the director, in a humorous, heart full and very original fashion, explores   the very heart of the Israeli matter.

In The Other Story, a willful 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 (Sasson Gabai, The Band’s Visit) connive a plot to thwart the upcoming nuptial, with unforeseen results.
