"Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem" is precisely what the title promises. Viviane (Ronit Elkabetz, who also directed the film along with her partner) is an Israeli woman who wants out of her unhappy marriage. Due to how marriage law works in Israel, she cannot do this without the consent of her husband, Elisha (Simon Abkarian). Viviane takes Elisha to trial, where Rabbis act to moderate the discourse but are unwilling to force Elisha's hand.
