Fixated on romantic fantasies, a kindly and strong-willed young woman with a mild mental disability embarks on a relationship — much to the concern of her protective mother — in this assured first feature from director Nitzan Gilady.

Indeed, in Gilady's hands, almost everything about the town's environment — the gentle golden light, the strong winds, and the expansive but lonely horizon — is expressive of Hagit's inner experience. Wedding Doll is an assured cinematic work about an unforgettable character.
