Disobedience concerns two Orthodox Jewish women coming from very different adult lives; having conducted an illicit affair with one another in their youth that was subsequently torn apart by Ronit's (Rachel Weisz) rabbi father, she and Esti (Rachel McAdams) are reunited when Ronit’s father dies unexpectedly and she returns for his funeral, having left and estranged herself from the Jewish church for years. Esti is now married to their childhood friend Dovid (Alessandro Nivola), causing a tumultuous jumble of unresolved emotions between the trio.
