Be Fruitful and Multiply

Story

Imagine this: you’ve been married for 26 years and for 25 years of your marriage you were pregnant or breast feeding. Because you, as a Jewish orthodox woman, serve God with your uterus. How does it feel to bring twelve, 16 children into the world? Portraits from New York and Israel provide a glimpse into a strange parallel world. The Israeli newspaper “Ma’ariv” considers it’s a “sad, moving, wise film.”
