Bati and Lazer, a young ultra-Orthodox couple in Jerusalem, lead a seemingly perfect life with three children, a loving marriage, and a strong place in their tight-knit community. But when Lazer is blackmailed with photos exposing an affair with his male study partner, the cracks in their carefully structured world begin to show. As Bati navigates Lazer’s sexuality and his attempts to change for her, her world slowly expands, and she begins to question the boundaries of love, faith, and duty. Screenwriter Mindi Ehrlich, drawing from her own experience within the Haredi community, crafts a quietly powerful narrative about personal reckoning and spiritual tension, delving into themes of identity, desire, and liberation. Director Nir Bergman brings the story to life with the help of layered performances and careful attention to emotional detail. A compelling portrait of personal truth amidst rigid societal structures, Pink Lady is a deeply felt exploration of identity and choice within a world where deviation is rarely discussed. —Johanna Gustin
