In the early 2000s, Naftali, Dov, and Yitzi–three queer, closeted, ultra-Orthodox Jews–find one another in an internet chat room. As their friendships deepen, their mutual support grows into activism for their community, taking a conversion therapy organization to court. Based on a true story, Abomination is a captivating look at identity, faith, trauma, and belonging as this small group of queer yeshiva graduates forge a new path in their ancient tradition.
