Filmed in an orthodox quarter of Jerusalem, where cameras are generally taboo, Ushpizin centres on Moshe und Malli, a childless couple with financial troubles. Moshe’s faith and commitment are put to the test when the couple invite two suspicious characters from Moshe’s less orthodox past into their succah. This is a rare cinematic link between secular and orthodox communities.
