Synopsis
Following Batya and the organization she established, aptly named “Dead End”, the film introduces four women pushed to activism by their refusing ex-spouses. The stories are incredibly troubling: lives stopped, shattered. Precisely because they respect Jewish law, these women can’t simply re-marry or have more children. They live from one fruitless religious court hearing to another, under constant and crushing stress.
The bigger picture created by these stories is one of an ultra-traditional, oppressive, irrelevant establishment, which is under tremendous pressure to adapt to modern times.
