Acclaimed Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio (Gloria; A Fantastic Woman) makes his English language debut with Disobedience, adapted from the novel by Naomi Alderman.

Disobedience is in UK cinemas and on VOD November 30th.
Check out the new UK trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
When her estranged rabbi father suddenly passes away, Ronit (played by Oscar-winner and co-producer Rachel Weisz) returns from New York to the north London Orthodox Jewish community she rejected years previously after a scandalous transgression. Ronit’s presence immediately courts further controversy when she unknowingly runs into Esti (Rachel McAdams), the wife of her strictly religious cousin Dovid (Alessandro Nivola) and the woman for whom she shared an illicit attraction in their childhood. This happy reunion soon reignites the two women’s burning, long-unrequited passions, an act of defiance that could alter the course of their lives forever.
