| Summary: | Yentl is the daughter of a kindly scholar, a man able to instill in his daughter a love of learning as deep as his own. However, in the world of Eastern Europe at the turn of the century, higher education is denied women. Yentl disguises herself as a man in order to gain entrance to an orthodox Jewish school. Woven into the fabric of this engaging story are some of the most dramatic, beautifully crafted songs Streisand has ever sung. Yentl's search for freedom also results in a discovery of herself, and is, therefore, very much a film for today.
