Shira, the new mikve attendant, is the centre of gossip at the local orthodox community mikve: She’s an outsider -not from the community and one of those ‘newly-religious’ (as opposed to those born into it). But she’s young, enthusiastic, desperately needs the job and luckily has the full backing (at first) of Shoshana, the senior attendant, who will not take part in any gossip.. She wants her Mikve ‘pure’ - and is grateful to have help once again. Shira feels there are many more ‘impure’ things in this house of purification… and, almost without realizing, opens a Pandora box that exposes eight womens’ life stories and bring them all - including Shira - to an irreversible road… at the end of which - they just might save another woman from the same fate…
