Mekimi

This is the story of Alma, a young media star living in Tel Aviv in the early 90s, who seems to have it all: money, fame, a great boyfriend, successful friends, and a life running along a sure path to success. But in reality, there is a big, black hole in Alma’s heart. Entering her life and stealing her heart is film student Ben, a dark, mysterious anarchist. They fall deeply in love, appearing to be one another’s salvation, and at other times seeming to pull one another into the depths of oblivion, until they decide to repent and to marry. ‛Mekimi’ is a 5-episode drama series based on a bestseller book by the ex-radio presenter Noa Yaron-Dayan, who in the middle of the 1990s became a religious penitent turning to the Bresolver branch of Orthodox Judaism. The series documents five elements from the book, turning them into five meaningful moments in the process of religious penitence.
