Best Film Award – Bari International Film Festival

ABOUT THE FILM: Set across two eras, For the Love of a Woman intertwines a gripping historical mystery with a haunting love story. In 1970s Israel, Esther (Mili Avital), an American woman receives a letter upon the death of her mother that sets her on a journey to Israel to uncover a hidden chapter of her family’s past. With the guidance of Zayde, a university professor with secrets of his own, she seeks to unravel the mystery of a woman who once lived in Palestine in the 1930s.
That woman is Yehudit (Ana Ularu, in a captivating performance), whose arrival in a settlers’ village decades earlier transformed the lives of three men—a grieving widower, a dream-filled farmer, and a shrewd cattle trader. An exciting and tragic love story begins. By tying together the threads that bind past and present, Esther and Zayde will discover a shocking truth.
