 In this intimate documentary portrait, Alice Shalvi shares her thoughts and memories of her public and private life, from her childhood in Essen to her present-day success as a leading Israeli scholar, feminist, and peace activist. Shalvi tells the story of her personal odyssey as a daughter, wife, mother of six, university professor, principal of an experimental girls  religious school, and founding chairwoman of the Israel Women s Network. The film ends as she begins her present job as Rector of the Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem. Paula Weiman-Kelman s film is a richly textured tribute weaving together home movies, archival footage, and Shalvi s splendidly-told tales.
