Forbidden love blossoms in the Orthodox neighborhood of Bnei Brak in Tel Aviv, when Zorik, a young, secular Russian immigrant, and his family move in next door to Rochale and her Haredi family. Rochale is destined for an arranged marriage, but she cannot ignore the sparks that fly when Zorik is near. A Touch Away, an eight-part miniseries, broke rating records in Israel when it was broadcast in 2007. Festival goers are treated to the first four episodes in a special preview. You will beg for more! [The series, in its entirety, will be screened as a special event in March.]
