"Laura, une étudiante en philo âgée de 18 ans, veut s'affranchir du joug familial. Née et élevée dans la Petite Jérusalem, quartier juif orthodoxe d'une banlieue de Paris, elle refuse obstinément le prétendant de bonne famille que sa mère lui présente, par peur de reproduire le modèle de vie de sa soeur aînée Mathilde. Épouse et mère parfaite et pieuse, celle-ci, au nom de sa foi et de son rôle social, nie sa sexualité et refoule ses sentiments. Or, tandis que Laura, qui travaille de nuit à l'entretien ménager d'une école, se découvre une attirance pour un collègue musulman, Mathilde apprend l'infidélité de son mari. Ce coup de tonnerre la force à chercher, comme sa soeur, un moyen de s'émanciper, dans le respect toutefois des lois dictées par la Torah. [(c) Médiafilm]."
