- In the ultra-Orthodox community men are educated not to look at women or think about them and a girl practices modesty in clothing, actions and thoughts. Marriage requires complete strangers to suddenly encounter their partner for the first time in an intimate situation with only rudimentary information. According to Jewish law, they are required at that first intimate encounter to consummate the marriage. The forbidden becomes permitted, the impure pure, and modesty turns into full exposure. What was considered sinful transforms to the Holy of Holies. The film draws a portrait of a society and a place: women and men speak bravely about their hidden feelings during matchmaking, the engagement period, the guidance of brides and grooms, the canopy, the special "Yihud" room, until the morning after marriage.
- Many remember the evening of Rosh Ha'Shana 25 years ago, when the news announced that 26-year-old Inbal Perlmutter was killed in a car crash.

The film reveals for the first time her personal diaries, rare archival footage, and intimate encounters with those closest to her. Some of them were not aware just how powerful the beast of darkness lurking beneath the good fairy had become. If You Let Me Go dives into the depths of a groundbreaking musician's soul who herself plunged into the abyss, leaving a profound mark on Israeli music and culture.
