Tahara

Dir. Olivia Peace

Narrative, 2020, United States, 76 min English

Carrie Lowenstein and Hannah Rosen have been best friends since childhood. When their former Hebrew school classmate dies by suicide, they attend the funeral and their synagogue’s “teen talk-back” session, designed to help them process their grief. But the girls are distracted by complicated teenage feelings around lust, social status, and wavering faith. An innocent kiss turns Carrie's world inside out, leaving both friends as confused, misguided, and stuck in their own heads as ever.
