Subiect:  Naomi, o fata religioasa si cu inclinatii spre studiu, e fiica unui rabin de vaza. Ea e logodita cu arogantul student la yeshiva Michael, insa viseaza in secret sa devina rabin. Dupa moartea mamei ei, Naomi isi convinge tatal sa amane casatoria si sa o trimita la Seminarul de Adevar si Cunoastere in vechiul oras Safed din munti. Inca afectata de doliul pe care il tine pentru mama ei, Naomi afla ca va trebui sa imparta o camera cu alte 3 fete, intre care si independenta Michelle. Naomi si Michelle capata din partea directoarei scolii insarcinarea de a avea grija de suferinda Anouk, o femeie care a petrecut 15 ani in inchisoare dupa ce si-a ucis iubitul. Remuscarile si cancerul o macina pe Anouk, asa ca ea le cere fetelor sa o ajute sa se intoarca la Dumnezeu, iar fetele hotarasc sa execute ritualul Kabbalistic Tikkun. Intre timp Naomi se indragosteste de Michelle si se convinge singura ca in Cartea Sfanta nu exista nimic care sa condamne dragostea dintre doua femei ca fiind un pacat. Dar, intr-o societate condusa de barbati, care condamna independenta feminina, Michelle e mult mai greu de convins.
