Class Description:
In early 1960s Mexico, Sephardic, Ladino speaking families from Turkey arrived to start a new life. Of course, challenges arise in the new homeland as Turkish-Sephardic customs clash with the modern world. Two young Jewish girls--Oshinica (Claudette Maille) and Refke (Maya Mishalska)--experience the life-changing events of their teen years against the turbulent backdrop of the decade. As they fall in love, attend Zionist day camps, and flirt with radical politics, they find themselves constantly caught between the traditions of their heritage and the ever-changing face of Mexican society. LIKE A BRIDE was the winner of five Ariel Awards, including Best Supporting Actress and Best Screenplay.
