The Therapy is a powerful documentary that explores the controversial practice of “conversion therapy” in Israel through the lives of two men from different generations. The film follows Lev, a 54-year-old devout Jewish man, and Ben, a 23-year-old social work student. While Lev tries to suppress his homosexuality to conform to societal expectations, Ben begins to question his identity after realizing the harmful effects of these therapies. With sensitivity and empathy, the documentary delves into their inner conflicts, identity struggles, and confrontations with societal norms. It also sheds light on the ongoing debates in the Israeli parliament over the banning of conversion therapy.
