In Hebrew and Russian with English Subtitles
Documentary
Mid-Atlantic Premiere
Ronen and Orit, two young Bukharins living in Israel, have been dating for almost three years. Ronen and his brother make up the Handa Handa theater troupe, a runaway hit among the worldwide Bukhari community. According to longstanding tradition, Bukhari couples must marry after a brief acquaintance – but Ronen and Orit rebel against the community and their own families and refuse. Her parents have had enough, and demand that they either marry or break up, in the process trapping their love between tradition and modernity.
