Winner of six Israeli Academy Awards, this sharply etched semi- autobiographical story depicts Rachel, a popular television personality, in her journey home to confront memories of her deeply rooted Moroccan- Jewish culture. Fascinating ceremonies of ritual magic (sh'chur) are examined in this film of a family caught between modern Israel and the powerful customs of traditional Morocco.
