Beautiful, fragile Dina Reich, a young woman in Jerusalem's
ultra-Orthodox haredi enclave, stands accused of the community's
most unforgivable sin: adultery. Raised with her sisters to be an
obedient daughter and a dutiful wife, Dina secretly yearned for the
knowledge, romance, and excitement that she knew her circumscribed
life would never satisfy. When her first romance is tragically
thwarted, she willingly enters into an arranged marriage with a
loving but painfully quiet man. Dina's deeply repressed passions
become impossible to ignore, finding a dangerous outlet in a sudden
and intense obsession with a married man, with terrible
consequences. Exiled to New York City, Dina meets Joan, a modern
secular woman who challenges all she knows of the world and
herself.
Set against the exotic backdrop of Jerusalem's glistening white
stones and ancient rituals, "Sotah" is a contemporary story of the
struggle to reconcile tradition with freedom, and faith with
love.
