Anne Jacobson had a forbidden romantic encounter with a Hispanic teenager who worked in her parents' garden. In the eyes of the religious Jewish Hasidic community in which she was raised, this kind of act was unpardonable. She was sent away to a boarding school for girls in Israel, so she wouldn't harm the chances of her brothers and sisters to find suitable matches.Based on a real life story
