Wall
One year inside the women’s section of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, the biggest confessional in the world. The director, a woman who is breaking-up her marriage, documents the dramatic year in her personal life, juxtaposing phone conversations she has with her husband, family and friends, with occurrences at this unique and volatile site. Wall is a double portrait of a place and of a woman, an encounter between sound and image, the private and the public, God and His absence.
