Midlife is a deeply moving Israeli drama that explores themes of faith, family, and transformation through the intertwined lives of two sisters. When Ahinoam leaves her ultra-Orthodox husband, she seeks refuge with her estranged sister Sari. Sari, who has long abandoned their religious upbringing, struggles with her own marital issues and a health crisis, creating a tense and emotional reunion. As Ahinoam rebuilds her life within a spiritual community in the West Bank, the sisters grapple with their shared history, divergent paths, and the possibility of reconciliation.

Directed by Danni Reisfeld and Yariv Horowitz, Midlife delves into the complexities of religious identity, familial bonds, and the pursuit of redemption. The film portrays a profound journey of second chances and the enduring power of love.
