Song of Songs refers to the "Song of Songs", which is called "Song of Songs" in English. Quotes from the Bible are repeatedly incorporated into the film to demonstrate the obsessive love of the Orthodox Jew Ruth (Nathalie Press) for her brother (Joel Chalfen). Above all, this quote is the focus: Oh that you were my brother who sucked my mother's breasts! If I found you outside, I would kiss you and nobody should scold me! I wanted to guide you and bring you to my mother's house and teach you .
