Covered Up | Wedding Night

The personal journey of Rachel, an ultra-Orthodox film director, through marriage, divorce, matchmaking, and family life. Rachel unveils the world of ultra-Orthodox women and gives voice, for the first time, to their concealed inner world through the wig that covers up women’s’ hair. 

The wedding night is The Nights of Nights in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish society. In this night, a man and a woman who have been living separately, make a physical connection for the very first time. They are almost complete strangers, without any knowledge of themselves as well as of the person standing in front of them, they must turn on a dime. From complete separation towards a connection.
