For the Love of a Woman (למען אהבתה של אישה)
Based on the Meir Shalev novel The Loves of Judith, the film moves from 1970 to the 1930’s. Esther, a tormented forty-something American, receives a letter after the death of her mother: she must find a woman who lived in pre-State Palestine and keeps a secret about her life. Esther begins her search in Israel helped by Zayde, a university professor with a particular background. By tying together the threads that bind past and present, Esther and Zayde will discover a shocking truth.
