FILL THE VOID tells the story of an Orthodox Hasidic family from Tel Aviv.
Eighteen-year-old Shira is the youngest daughter of the family. She is about to be married off to a promising young man of the same age and background. It is a dream-come-true, and Shira feels prepared and excited.
On Purim, her twenty-eight-year-old sister, Esther, dies while giving birth to her first child. The pain and grief that overwhelm the family postpone Shira's promised match.
Everything changes when an offer is proposed to match Yochay the late Esther's husband to a widow from Belgium. Yochay feels it's too early, although he realizes that sooner or later he must seriously consider getting married again.When the girls' mother finds out that Yochay may leave the country with her only grandchild, she proposes a match between Shira and the widower. Shira will have to choose between her heart's wish and her family duty.
From the director: "I love Jane Austen. She's romantic, intelligent, and full of humor. I read her as a girl, and I've seen films based on her work. The parallel is also quite obvious in that FILL THE VOID takes place in a world
where the rules are rigid and clear. The characters are not looking for some way to burst out of that world. Instead, they are trying to find a way to live within it.
FILL THE VOID has a historical air about it. It could just have easily have been located in Poland of the last century, in Brooklyn, or now, in Tel Aviv. It is somewhat cut off from the modern world, and the complications that make up the plot and their resolution have much in common with the way Jane Austen tells a story."
