The Source of All Beauty
Yaeli is a 20-year-old Ultra-Orthodox woman, who dreams of love. Her heart is beating for David, a handsome and smart yeshiva boy, but Yaeli is also a barren woman. Yaeli’s father, a charismatic and strong man, is looking for a man with children for her, and is not willing to introduce his daughter to a single yeshiva boy, claiming that he is not allowed to, because he has a mitzvah to have children. Yaeli adores her father but she understands that she needs to take responsibility for her own life and fight for her inner wishes.
She disobeys her father and goes to meet David.
