In early twentieth-century Eastern Europe, the brilliant young woman Yentl disguises herself as a boy to study at a yeshiva, defying the prohibition against women's education. She falls in love with her study partner Avigdor but must maintain her disguise, leading to an increasingly complex web of secret identities and forbidden feelings. Yentl's journey becomes a story about the courage to be your true self in a world that demands conformity.
