介绍:虔诚的信徒鲁丝从以色列回到英国照顾将要离世的母亲。但当她遵从母亲的遗愿,试图使疏远的兄弟大卫归依宗教时,结果却令人吃惊地堕入一个性爱欲望最黑暗的领域:一场以宗教为幌子的禁忌游戏。这部黑暗、暧昧、赤裸裸的成人影片涉及信念和欲望,背景设在伦敦正统的犹太区,探讨了忠诚与暴力、拒绝和渴望之间的联系。
Set in the Orthodox Jewish community in North London, this claustrophobic drama tells the story of siblings Ruth and David who struggle to repress their desire for each other while trying to live by the rules of the Torah and look after their sick mother.
Devoutly religious Ruth returns from Israel to care for her dying mother, but when she tries to bring her estranged brother David back into the fold, in accordance with her mother's wishes, the result is a startling journey into the darkest realms of sexual obsession: a forbidden game under the guise of religious law. Dark, ambiguous and distinctly adult, this study of belief and desire, set in the cloistered world of London's Orthodox Jewish community, thoughtfully explores the links between faith and violence, denial and longing.
