Secrets is the story of a gifted and pious daughter of an Orthodox rabbi and her rebellious quest for individuality. Wary of marriage in an insular community, Naomi convinces her father to send her to an all-female Jewish seminary in Safed, an ancient center of Kabbalistic study, or mystical Judaism. There she befriends another free-spirited student, Michelle, and the two encounter a mysterious, ailing foreigner (the iconic French actress Fanny Ardant) with a disturbing past. Attempting to purge the woman's sins through kabbalistic rituals, Naomi and Michelle embark on a risky journey into forbidden realms.
