Synopsis:
Haim-Aaron is an outstanding religious scholar living in an Ultra-Orthodox district in Jerusalem. A near-death accident leads him to experience a newly-heightened awareness of his corporeal form as part of God’s creation. Suspecting that God is testing him, Haim-Aaron begins to challenge the rigid religious rules of his community and wanders through the sensuous urban landscape of Tel Aviv after dark in an attempt to understand and rekindle his faith, to dangerous consequences.

The meaning of the word “tikkun” refers to a soul returning to the living world in order to rectify an unresolved issue to redeem itself before transitioning to the next world. Through surrealistic sequences and motifs such as the kosher sacrifice of a cow and the crushing of a cockroach, Tikkun meditates on the nature of sexuality, life and death.
