Leya, a young woman about to enter into an arranged marriage, is secretly in love with another man, Khonnon. After Khonnons unexpected death, Leya gains possession of his soul. This possession comes to a climax during the arranged marriage ceremony. The resulting exorcism of the dybbuk leads Leya to becoming unconscious, interrupting the proceedings. Khonnon appears to the sleeping Leya, and tells her that although he has left her body, he is now forever part of her soul.
