Sinner

Studying at an ultra-Orthodox Jewish boarding school, Yotam struggles with his burgeoning sexuality. Confused, he asks his advisor for guidance, receiving nothing but abuse of his innocence in return. With no-one to turn to and nowhere to hide, Yotam becomes a prisoner of the enforced silence imposed upon him by the community. Graduation short from Meni Philip, born into a family of ultra-Orthodox Jews, Hasidic musician and director of the autobiographical documentary Let There Be Light (2007) who left his community in 2001.
