Based on Alona Kimhi’s award-winning bestseller, "Weeping Susannah” is a three-part miniseries which tells the story of Susannah, a fragile, emotionally disturbed woman in her 30's, who lives with her over-powering widowed mother.  

The arrival in Israel of a long-lost nephew from New York turns Susannah's world upside down. The handsome nephew captivates Susannah’s heart, as a unique and bizarre relationship develops between them.

Maya Maron (Broken Wings, Campfire) gives an exceptional performance as Susannah, alongside the superb Zak Berkman and Galia Yishai.

 

ARIANA MELAMED, ynet.co.il
"The cinematic adaptation of the novel 'Weeping Susannah" not only revives it, but is creating a new masterpiece, a sensitive and powerful one."
