Disobedience
2018, English. Directed by Sebastián Lelio.
Love is an act of defiance
New York photographer Ronit flies to London after learning about the death of her estranged father.

Their fortuitous and happy reunion soon reignites their burning passion as the two women explore the boundaries of faith and sexuality.
