La Petite Jerusalem

Laura (Fanny Valette) lives with her orthodox Jewish family in a small suburban apartment in Paris. Her love for philosophy finds her at odds with her religious older sister Mathilde (Elsa Zylberstein) who's marriage is being torn at the seams as she strains to keep on the path to Torah. And then Djamel enters Laura's life and awakens the desire she seeks to keep dormant. At the end of the film you wonder if religion and the laws its foists on its followers is even worth it...
