Estonian premiere
Valeria Is Getting Married
Against expectations, two sisters must each make a decision for themselves
Valeria, a young Ukrainian woman, arrives in Israel to meet her future husband, for an arranged marriage brokered online. She joins Christina, who has been living in Israel for some time and met her own husband through a similar arrangement. Christina is happy with her new life and wants the same for her sister, but over the course of the day doubts begin to appear.
With razor-sharp dialogues, director Michal Vinik stages a chamber play that is as entertaining as it is dramaturgically sophisticated. "Valeria Is Getting Married" premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was nominated for nine Israeli Film Academy Awards, winning the title of Best Screenplay.
