In a conservative village deeply rooted in traditions, a young Jewish man named Jaques lives a quiet life with his family, profoundly connected to their heritage and the values of their community. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when his father, a respected rabbi, feels pressured by social expectations and decides that it is time for his son to become a rabbi. Jaques finds himself facing a dilemma: to meet his family's expectations or to pursue his passion for cinema and the artistic world that captivates him.
As he struggles with his decision, Jaques's life intertwines with the story of a beautiful young Christian woman, who embodies everything his environment expects him to avoid. Their relationship becomes the central point of tension, as each encounter with her reinforces his desire to break free from the chains of a life dictated by rigid social norms.
As the tensions between his personal desires and the demands of his community escalate, a series of unfortunate events unleash conflicts that lead Jaques to make decisions that will change his life forever. The story culminates in a poignant reflection on identity, tradition, and sacrifice, as Jaques must confront the consequences of his choices in a world that does not always accept what is different. The film delves into moral and emotional dilemmas, transforming a young man's struggle into an allegory about the quest for freedom and love in a hostile context.
