Histoire
La petite Jérusalem follows Laura, an Orthodox Jewish teenager living with her family in the suburbs of Paris. Her mother is a Tunisian widow and her sister Mathilde is struggling in her marriage due to repressed desires that stem from misunderstandings about her religious principles. Laura, however, is more open-minded and works as a night cleaner at a school while studying philosophy. She develops a strong passion for her Muslim Algerian colleague, despite the cultural differences. Meanwhile, Mathilde discovers her husband had an affair and seeks guidance from a religious advisor to interpret love and marital duties.
