Disobedience
A New York photographer returns to her strict Orthodox Jewish community for her father's funeral and must choose between the faith that exiled her and a rekindled love that threatens everything she thought she left behind.
“Love is an act of defiance”
Synopsis
New York photographer Ronit travels to London following news of her estranged father's death. She returns to the same Orthodox Jewish community that had shunned her years earlier due to her childhood feelings for Esti, a female friend. Their unexpected and joyful reunion soon rekindles their intense emotions as the two women navigate the intersections of faith and sexuality.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
