An ultra-Orthodox couple is trying to have a baby. Pressure runs high and they suffer from the strict scrutiny by their parents and society. When her husband goes on a trip to pray for a child, an impostor abuses the woman’s desire to have a baby and rapes her. The couple faces a difficult crisis, which rises fundamental questions about faith and religion.

‘Barren’ stands out due to the tender camera work, right editing, experienced acting, subtle music, a nuanced scenario and above all the stunning ending.
