Wax

In an attempt to break away from her religious upbringing, a young Jewish woman sets up an Internet date. The cruelty of casual sex triggers a painful obsession that this fragile character must overcome.

Directed by Darya Zhuk, Wax leans on a strong ensemble — Jessica Kaye, John Conor Brooke, Martin Janal — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2013.
