Synopsis

The new and highly popular Israeli TV series Shtisel takes place in the heart of Jerusalem’s ultra-religious neighborhood. Akiva, a young and dreamy Yeshiva student lives with his widowed father Shulem. All the other children left the nest, only the two of them remain quarreling, making up, and laughing about themselves and the rest of the world. All will change when Akiva meets Elisheva. Forget everything you thought about the life of the ultra-Orthodox Jews, just let yourself be charmed and fall in love.
