Just like the other young women from her religious Jewish community in
Brooklyn, Chanshi is on the right track. She’s a walking uterus, engaged to a
great guy, who she will make cholent for, and birth at least six of their children.
But unlike her peers, Chanshi carries with her a secret fantasy that a good
religious girl like her shouldn’t – she wants to have lots of sex. With Israeli
soldiers. In the desert in the Middle East. Just before her wedding, to a man she
doesn’t really know, she suddenly decides to abandon everything familiar to her,
and immigrate to Israel. Needless to say, her family is opposed. It is precisely in
the Jewish homeland, the “Holy Land”, in the heart of Jerusalem, that Chanshi
goes through a wild and sexy journey. She breaks boundaries, and becomes the
free and adventurous woman that she was born to be. For the first time in her
life, she’s the one in control. But the transition from a life with a clear set of rules,
to a life without any rules at all. Thrusts her into a whirlpool. Chanshi is forced to
deal with her religious and sexual identity.
