Product Description
Fill the Void tells the story of an eighteen-year-old Shira who is the youngest daughter of her family. Her dreams are about to come true as she is set to be married off to a promising young man. Unexpectedly, her sister, Esther, dies while giving birth to her first child. The pain 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. 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.

Hadas Yaron - a secular Jew in real life - does a wonderful job here portraying the frum, flowering sister. There's an important age gap here between Ms. Yaron's Shira and older sister Esther (the choreographer Renana Raz doing one of her occasional screen turns). Esther is the beautiful older sister ("The most beautiful person in the world" as an adoring Shira refers to her at one point), Shira always the notably younger "little sister." These dynamics are important because when tragedy befalls Esther, our little duckling Shira is slowly thrust into a role that at first seems very unsuited for her. Neither she nor the audience can at first accept her as Esther's replacement.
I loved the casting here. Irit Sheleg and Chayim Sharir are superb as parents Rivka and Aharon. They are bulwarks of the community and love both of their daughters equally. [Wow, I just learned that Ms. Sheleg is Dana Ivgy's mom, WHAAAAT??] The amazing Purim scene -- with Sharir literally heading the table and Sheleg looking on in the background and basically running the books...that scene alone -- an incredibly deep, rich dive into tradition -- is worth the price of admission in this movie. It's a superb piece of filmmaking from Rama Burshtein.
If you're unfamiliar about how Orthodox Jews live, this may not be the film for you. Because you will not understand the plot or the deep emotional underpinnings. Especially those of the main character, Shira.
When Shira visits the Rebbi on her own you then understand all her inner struggle with the decision she is making. Not an easy one, especially for someone of 18 years of age.
Very true to tzinuis even to the ending, which made me love this film even more.
**SPOILER**
Shira is torn about marrying her sister's husband because she feels guilty. She does have feelings for Yochay, but doesn't feel it is correct to care for her sister's husband in that way, even though Esther is gone. She tries to sabotage the shidduch in many ways. Whether on purpose or not. Then the meddling of her aunt and friend Freida does not help either.
Shira, the would be new wife of her sister's dead husband is confronted with these ethical issues. The writer and actors masterfully show us the journey to the final decision. This movie is also a touching and sensitive snapshot of an orthodox jew's outlook on problem solving; such as the community involvement, family closeness (sometimes positive, sometimes negative) and going to G-D in prayer for help.
I say well done and worth watching a few times to enjoy the quiet messages and symbolism.

I was a bit disappointed by the last scene, and am still not too sure why it was as it was, but perhaps lines could not have been crossed...
The families were very caring and loving and I was very moved by the story....Very worthwhile to watch this film...
Vraiment decevant comme sujet et comme histoire
