The Other Widow
Ella, a theatre dresser and mistress, experiences the sudden death of her lover. She attends his Shiva while keeping her identity under wraps and dives into a world once forbidden to her. Through intimate encounters with his brother, parents, and, most especially, his wife, she examines her place in his life and eventually demands her legitimate right to mourn.
