In a world ruled by strict traditions and laws, one brave woman is willing to risk everything to earn her freedom.
Perla, a young woman, belongs to an extreme Ultra-orthodox stream.
After she turns eighteen and her parents have a hard time finding a match for her, she is thrown into the arms of a man from the community, whose life next to him is unbearable.
Gradually her sense of distancing from this rigid way of life deepens and the internal conflict she is in threaten to erupt to the surface. The need to break free from the chains that imprison her in such a narrowly defined world, leads her to discover a completely different one.
A chance encounter with a man and the feelings that ensue, widen the crack that has been opened in her life, until she ultimately makes a decision, one from which there is no way back.
Immodest tells the story of a courageous young woman who chooses to obey the commandments of her heart and not give up, despite the huge price she is forced to pay.
