Hadas Yaron
Birthday: 1990-09-21
Place of Birth: Israel
Synopsis
Hadas Yaron, born in 1990, who portrayed an ultra-orthodox fiance, wife and mother and finally the lover of a Canadian gentile in two films on the run, first in Rama Burshtein's Fill the Void (2012), then in Maxime Giroux's Félix & Meira (2014). Her gentle face, her simple and fresh beauty and her innocent eyes make irresistible the two characters she embodies, Shira, an 18-year-old young lady pressured by her family to marry the widowed husband of her older sister in the former film and Meira, the repressed wife (with child) of a Hasidic husband in the latter. But a moving face and figure would not have been enough if Hadas Yaron had not also been an excellent performer. Her having been awarded the 2012 Ophir Award is not a pure question of chance! And as she is only in her mid-twenties, Hadas Yaron can reasonably expect a lot of those rewarding roles her talent deserves.
Acting
Our Ghost
as Myriam
Valerio and his six-year-old son, Carlo, live in the attic above the apartment they've been evicted from. Every time new tenants arrive, they terrify them by pretending to be ghosts, in the hopes of being able to move back "downstairs". To Carlo, it's just a game that protects him from their poverty and his motherless condition. It even works, for a while, until Myriam and her daughter Emma arrive, in flight from her abusive husband. And Myriam's not afraid of ghosts…
Mary Magdalene
as Sarah
In the first century, free-spirited Mary Magdalene flees the marriage her family has arranged for her, finding refuge and a sense of purpose in a radical new movement led by the charismatic, rabble-rousing preacher named Jesus.
Felix and Meira
as Meira
A young married woman from Montreal's Orthodox Jewish community finds freedom from the strictures of her faith through her relationship with a young man who is mourning the death of his estranged father.
Fill the Void
as Shira Mendelman
Eighteen-year-old Shira is the youngest daughter of the Mendelman family. She is about to be married off to a promising young man of the same age and background. It is a dream come true, and Shira feels prepared and excited. On Purim, her twenty-eight-year-old sister, Esther, dies while giving birth to her first child, Mordechay. The pain and grief that overwhelm the family postpone Shira's promised match. Everything changes when a match is proposed to Yochay-Esther's late husband-to a widow from Belgium. Yochay feels it's too early, although he realizes that sooner or later he must seriously consider getting married again. When the girls' mother finds out that Yochay may marry the widow and move to Belgium with her only grandchild, she proposes a match between Shira and the widower. Shira will have to choose between her heart's wish and her family duty. She will find out that the void which she must choose exists only within her heart.
