The story of a Jewish girl named Yentl, who secretly studied the Talmud with her father (women were not allowed). After her father passes away, she decides to go to a Yeshiva, a Jewish school for priests. The school is for men only, so Yentl disguises herself as a young man. She's an excellent student, but the masquerade becomes increasingly more difficult to maintain when love interests arise.
