The film explores the stories of LGBTQ+ people who decide to marry against their own sexual orientation to comply with Torah laws and be accepted into their families and religious communities. Some share their secret with their partners, some keep it hidden, and some lie even to themselves. The film also follows the women who married and divorced homosexual partners, as well as rabbis and psychologists who seek a solution to a perceived unsolvable conflict.
