![]() ![]() Tikvah and Ruby meet one summer day right before the outbreak of the 2nd intifada, in the Galilean valley that separates the segregated villages in which they live. Hope Valley is the story of two women, one Jewish-Israeli and one Palestinian-Israeli, who come together to form the unlikeliest of friendships. At her lowest, Hope meets Joy, a quirky mentor offering ancient truths of physical health and spiritual peace that will change Hope’s and Lana’s lives forever. Comedy ensues as Hope mimics Lilith’s alpha female style, storming through life solving her problems and losing weight-that is until her new inauthentic persona leads to catastrophe. Hope turns to her preternaturally trim friend, Lilith, for help. Looking into the mirror, Hope and Lana have in mind a continually altering ideal of beauty defined always as thinner than they are in the moment. But in her dance world, finesse in motion requires mastery of body, which, for Lana, spirals into obsession. Hope’s teenage niece, Lana, has a physique Photoshop can’t touch. The fact that she’s a graphic artist who manipulates images of women’s bodies for a living only makes matters worse. ![]() ![]() You will never see your body the same again. ![]()
