Unorthodox
I know this has been posted before, but I just finished watching it.
A touching story.
It also reminded me of someone.
When I moved to New York, in the early 90s I worked in a car service in Borough Park. It's the same orthodox Jewish community
but in another part of Brooklyn. I probably can write a book about all the crazy weird stuff I witnessed, but ...There was this lady who looked similar to the girl in the series. For a couple of months every Saturday evening right after Shabbat I would take her to East Village. On the way there she would change her clothes in the back of my car. Get dressed in jeans, revealing blouse, to the point that she looked like a completely different person when getting out of my car. First few times she did that quietly.
Then once while she was changing we started a conversation, and she opened up to me. The girl shared that she was not happy in her marriage, that she met someone and started going out to nightclubs. Once she was in Limelight and bumped in 2 orthodox guys. It made her panicked, so she decided to go only to a lesbian club, where a chance of meeting orthodox men were slim. That's where I was taking her all that times. I took her there a couple of times more, and then she disappeared.
While watching this series I thought of her. I wonder what have become of her, where is she now...
