Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Dybbuk is a classic Yiddish movie (based on a play, which is still performed in various languages). The movie plot, in a nutshell: In a shtetl (small pre-Holocaust Eastern European town with a large Jewish population), Khonnen, a poor student, and Leye, a rich merchant's daughter, fall in love (their parents pledged that they would marry). But Leye's father is making her marry a rich man's son. Khonnen responds by studying the forbidden Kabbala and then drops dead in mystical ecstasy. At the wedding, Leye becomes possessed by Khonnen's spirit. The rest of the community wants to get him out. (It's been described as "Romeo and Juliet meets The Exorcist.") Much, much Better Than It Sounds. The plot of the original play is slightly different, mainly in that Leye is merely attracted to Khonnen, and even the attraction is subtle. |
