A rising star of international words, Zeruya Shalev requires us over a compelling narrative journey in the beautiful and unsettling Hubby and Better half. Na'ama and Udi Newman have many of the trappings of idyllic shared lifetime. A couple since they were schoolchildren, they have grown alongside one another like vines and settled into a regimen of calm domesticity with their young little princess, Noga. However in a scene worth Kafka, the noiseless rhythms of the family life instantly screech to a halt when Udi wakes up one morning hours to realize that he is struggling to move his lower limbs. The doctors quickly go about searching for a physical reason, but it soon becomes painfully clear that his paralysis is a symptom of something much less tangible and far more insidious than any of them had imagined. This one morning hours sets in movement a series of events that discloses a vicious routine of jealousy, paranoia, resentment, and accumulated injury that now threaten to tear the small family apart. Shalev brilliantly catches the vulnerability and deceptive conveniences of lives intertwined in this deeply disturbing portrait of an diseased marriage.
