Ida and the Great Mystery
When Michal Hoch, an archivist, comes across Ida’s diary—a diary that had been buried deep within the archives for many years—she cannot put it down. She sets out to write Ida’s unique story: the story of a Jewish woman who lived in Eastern Europe between the two World Wars. Ida is endowed with exceptional talents and abilities, yet the reality of her life pushes her dreams to the margins—marriage to a devout man who shows no affection, and the expectations of a controlling mother who stifles her spirit.
Yet within these constraints, Ida preserves the flame of her curiosity and her passion for life. Through her work and her creative expression, she embarks on an inner journey in which she discovers a connection to the great mystery—a profound, elusive, and inspiring spiritual force that accompanies her throughout her life.
This is a story of self-discovery, spiritual awakening, and the search for meaning beyond what meets the eye. [in HEBREW]
