The word sabaya in Hebrew means “young girls,” so the irony is all the more sharply drawn when used in the title of this intimate story of eight woman—of various ages, both Arab and Jewish—who meet at a community center video workshop and begin documenting their lives.
As each student works on her filmmaking skills and shares her footage, beliefs and preconceptions are challenged and barriers broken down. The group comes together as the women they are—mothers, daughters, sisters, wives—all living in a world designed to keep them apart. Learning more about each other and themselves, their interactions form empowering, uplifting bonds.
