Trivia / Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem

• The Danza: Evelyn haGoel playing Viviane’s sister Evelyn.
• Fake Nationality: Armenian-French actor Simon Abkarian playing Moroccan-Israeli Elisha. Morocco was a French colony and, as such, many people speak French there. That’s why the vast majority of his dialogue with Viviane is in French (Ronit Elkabetz comes from a Moroccan Jewish family), with Hebrew used mostly for short phrases and dialogue with the lawyer and the rabbinical court judges.
• Plays Great Ethnics: The Armenian-French Simon Abkarian is frequently cast in Middle-Eastern type roles such as the Morrocan-Israeli Elisha.
