Nida
The practices of purity and impurity are the hallmarks of mandatory law and practice in the Samaritan community and the Ethiopian community. The film looks at the Niddah customs in both communities, as we meet protagonists Yafit (47) and Mollya (44). They bring us into their homes and share their experiences of the rituals of Niddah in their respective communities.
