Following her older sister’s example, Valeria travels from Ukraine to Israel to marry a man she has met only briefly online. When reality doesn’t match expectations, the ensuing turmoil strains relationships—testing bonds of family, marriage, and friendship, while shining a harsh light on the commoditization of women—here as paid mail-order brides. With Lena Fraifeld, Yaakov Zada-Daniel (Fauda), Dasha Tronorovich.
