    • Synopsis
    • OrthodoxGirl is a romance about a secular Jewish woman (Zoey) & an Ultra Orthodox man (Azel). Amazing projects such as Unorthodox & Disobedience explore the beauty of breaking free. OrthodoxGirl shows the other side of that desire. Zoey says she yearns for “something—someone—spiritual.” Nothing Fails by Madonna conveys the tone of OrthodoxGirl: "I’m not religious, but I feel such love, makes me want to pray."
