A heartfelt and intimate look inside a world we never see
Israeli director Rama Burshtein’s powerfully moving Fill the Void, Israel’s submission to the 2012 Oscars, is about love and marriage but, in the Orthodox Hasidic community in Tel Aviv, they do not necessarily go together like a horse and carriage. Hadas Yaron, winner of the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival in her first film role, is eighteen year-old Shira who is very close to being matched and promised to a local young man. When her older sister Esther (Renana Raz) dies in childbirth, however, her husband, the striking-looking Yochay (Yiftak Klein), is left to raise his young son Mordecai by himself and, according to tradition, has a duty to remarry once the formal mourning period is over.

This is where the film’s central dilemma comes in and Shira’s choice to “do the right thing” is severely tested by conflicting loyalties. After her family celebrates the Jewish holiday Purim, Shira and her mother, Rivka (Irit Sheleg) in a scene with Woody Allen overtones, are sent by the matchmaker to “shop” in the supermarket to find a suitable husband. When the right man is found, arrangements are made, even though Shira does not actually meet the young man until later in the film. When her mother learns that Yochay has a marriage offer from a widow living in Belgium, however, and cannot face the idea of the baby being taken away, she asks the matchmaker Mr. Shtreicher (Michael David Weigl) to arrange for Shira to marry Yochai, who is ten years older.

Fill the Void is a heartfelt and intimate look inside a world few of us ever have contact with. Sensitive to the orthodox community’s rituals and traditions, however anachronistic they may seem to us, there is a feeling behind the rituals that binds people together and produces a feeling of closeness in the community, underscored by the rhythmic chants and joyous celebrations of special occasions. Though the purpose of every girl is to be married may seem offensive, in the culture in which it takes place, it is not demeaning, and the film does not stand in judgment of its characters or of the community.

As director Rama Buhrstein, a member of the Orthodox community herself, describes the film, “It’s not about being an anthropologist or about religion or secularism. Rather, it’s about the heart.” Shira is asked to choose between her sense of duty to her family and community and her desire to fulfill her own dreams. Throughout the process, however, she is not alone and is always surrounded by love and support from mothers, fathers, aunts, rabbis, even though their advice may be conflicting. Her affectionate Aunt Hanna (Razia Israeli), who never married because of a disability, encourages Shira to do what is right for herself, putting her at odds with her mother.

Shira’s older unwed cousin Frieda (Hila Feldman) tells her that it was Esther’s wish that she marry Yochay if anything should happen to her, a proposition Yochay rebels at. Sensing Shira’s confusion and uncertainty about marrying Yochay, however, the chief Rabbi (Melech Thal) refuses to bless the marriage. Even as many emotions seem to be happening all at the same time, the resolution of the conflict is poignant and even beautiful and it all comes together in a memorable final shot.

Meaningful insights into another world
A new beautiful Israeli film currently playing, is called “Fill The Void” and in truth, that it does for both the characters and the audience. It is a moving depiction of how a close knit family deals with a tragedy, expressed in the context of the Israeli Chassidic framework. The family and especially the main character, 18 year old Shira, is completely content within the community, albeit with the limits and restrictions the tradition requires. There is no sense of rebellion, no indication of a desire to live outside this framework. Rather, Shira who is of marriageable age, shows her determination to find a mate who will give her the “real family”, one where there are ” no lies” as she tells a prospective match on their first (and only) encounter.

Because Shira’s older sister, Esther, who is 9 months pregnant, suddenly dies, the idea occurs to her mother that Shira would be the perfect new wife for the newly widowed Yochay. The movie explores, with great sensitivity, the many facets of this possibility.

The characters, who are played to perfection, all have their own “voids” to fill and with her screenplay, scriptwriter/director, Rama Burshtein, guides them in finding each of their answers. There is the older single girl, and Shira’s parents, there is the matchmaker, and the disabled maiden aunt. We meet the Rabbi who is the very approachable leader of his community and his various congregants who feel comfortable discussing their true feelings without being judged. We are given an insight into the beauty of their lifestyle as well as a glimpse of each one’s particular challenges and how they deal with them.

Both Shira and Yochay struggle with their personal confusions and challenges as they ultimately come to the decision that will shape the rest of their lives. Suffice it to say that each character’s void is filled in a way that leaves the audience both moved and satisfied.
