Disobedience

Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio, the director of the Academy Award-winning A Fantastic Woman, follows a young Hasidic woman as she returns to the community that shunned her decades earlier for an attraction to a childhood friend. Once back, their passions reignite as they explore the boundaries of faith and sexuality. Based on Naomi Alderman’s novel, the film stars Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams and Alessandro Nivola.
