As Birdie is memorising a passage from the Torah for her bat mitzvah, Donna Summer‘s “Bad Girls” keeps playing in her head. Hebrew and disco music start to blend together, the letters on the page turning into lines from the song as Jewish and Afro-American culture merge into one. Caught between religious duties, hair straighteners, separated parents and luxury handbags sold out of the boot of a car, Birdie is searching for her very own identity. (Berlinale)
