Skinopsis

Devout Jewish girls show their tits and have hot sexual awakenings in this French drama focusing on two sisters discovering their sex drives. Fantastic Fanny Valette shows off her sweet pair dressing for bed and getting it on with a Muslim dude, while her sexy sister (Elsa Zylberstein) shows everything (including her furry Gefilte fish) while getting into a large bath.

Review

Coming just when France and the rest of the world are trying to cope with expanding immigrant populations, La Petite Jérusalem is a timely and mature debut film by director Karin Albou. A sensitive, affecting drama about Tunisian-born Orthodox Jews living in a Parisian quarter called “La Petite Jérusalem” (located right next door to the Arab/Muslim section), the film centers on two sisters trapped in a conflict between old religious ties and modern realities. Mathilda, the married sister (Elsa Zylberstein, Time Regained), is bound by old sexual customs that leave her frightened and frigid. Curiously, she learns how to pleasure her husband with lessons from the woman (played by veteran actress Aurore Clément) who administers the Mikva, or religious bath. 18-year-old Laura (Fanny Valette) is torn between her orthodox upbringing and her philosophy studies that open up a whole new world to her. Besieged by blossoming sexual desires, Laura falls for a young Muslim, a powerfully taboo relationship in her community. (French, Arabic, Hebrew with English subtitles)
