With the breakup of her mar­riage, a once famous actress of the Yid­dish the­ater trav­els to Tel-Aviv to revis­it the apart­ment she once shared with her hus­band, Max.

Soon after, she finds her­self at the Sis­ters of Saint Joseph of the Appari­tion Hos­pice in Jaf­fa, a san­i­to­ri­um, run by a group of nuns. Unclear as to how she got there, she begins to piece togeth­er the events that led her to this moment. From New York to Tel ‑Aviv, and the Siber­ian gulag, The World Between explores the land­scape of a mar­riage, friend­ship, loss, and the way child­hood war trau­ma bleeds into every aspect of the char­ac­ters’ lives.
