Michal is 32 years old. She became religious 12 years ago, and only now is she getting married. A month before the wedding, while checking out the catering for the event, the groom has a change of heart and the wedding is called off. Michal feels she's unable to go back to ordinary life, to the usual course of matchmaking. She feels this is the moment to change something very basic in her personality. A simple belief that God is good and sweet; that He wants to give and is only waiting for her to wish it. Michal goes on a month-long journey lasting up to the planned wedding day: "I have the venue, the dress, the apartment; God can easily come up with my groom." (Venice International Film Festival)

Israel often feels like a world apart to me — everything from the way people act to the way they think. In Through the Wall, we follow a not-so-attractive Israeli woman who decides she's going to get married, even if her groom bails on her. After all, she's got the venue nearly booked and the dress almost ready, so why call it off? Her big, lively family is probably already gearing up for the celebration, ready to dance the night away to some Israeli psy-trance.

A rather unusual film about a woman who wants to get married at any cost and yet does everything she can to discourage potential grooms as much as possible. I have to admit I was quite nervous if any suitor would dare to stick his head in the noose. (70%)
