Ronit's striking appearance - snow-white skin and shiny black hair - led to the fact that she was promised a career as a model, and at the end of her urgent military service she was going to enter the leading local school of fashion design, but at that time she was invited to audition - as she initially believed , for a commercial. It turned out, however, that these were samples of a feature film, and as a result, in 1990, the first picture with the participation of Elkabets appeared on the screen - "Intended", where she played a modern witch, capable of kindling a fire by willpower. In 1994, his role in the film "Evil Eye" ("Shhur"), which tells about a Moroccan family professing a special religion, including elements of white magic, earned Elkabets the first Israeli Film Academy Award (later called "Ophir") as the best performer in his career main female role.
In 1997 Elkabets went to Paris to study in the studio of the avant-garde troupe Theater du Soleil under the direction of Ariana Mnushkina; During her studies, she made a living as a waitress, but in 2001 she also appeared on French cinema screens, playing one of the main roles in the comedy "Controlled Origins" (in the United States, the tape was at the box office as "Made in France"). In the same year, she won Ophir, the second in her career, for the lead role in Dover Kosashvili's Late Marriage, where she played a divorced single mother whose romance with a doctoral student is threatened because his parents insist for him in a traditional religious marriage. The film, which traditionally for Israeli films started in a single hall, caused such a stir in the country that the next week it was shown in a dozen cinemas. and in total it was watched in Israel by 150 thousand spectators. The film also received high accolades outside Israel, making it to the Un Certain Regard program of the Cannes Film Festival.

This picture became the first in the trilogy, the second and third films of which - "Seven Days" ("Shiva") and "Get" - were released in 2008 and 2014, respectively. The story of the family Amsalem Ronit and Shlomi based on the story of the unhappy marriage of their own mother - a hairdresser, married to a deeply religious postal worker. And Take My Wife won the Audience Award at the Venice Film Festival, and Ronit was nominated for three Ophir awards as director, screenwriter and supporting actress. This year she didn't manage to get any of them, but in 2007 she won her third Ophir as the lead actress in The Orchestra Visit; in this film, she plays a lonely Israeli woman, the owner of a diner, who has a romantic relationship with an Egyptian who accidentally got into the Israeli outback. The tape received eight Ophir awards and was nominated by Israel for an Oscar .
After the second film in the trilogy about Vivian Amsalem, "Seven Days", which takes place against the background of mourning for a deceased relative, Ronit Elkabets was again nominated for three Ophir awards and again did not receive any. However, the film itself won the top prize at the Jerusalem International Film Festival. "Seven Days" solidified her popularity in France, and at the turn of the first and second decades of the 21st century, Elcabets starred in a number of French films, including "Daughter of the Metro Line" by Andre Teshinet (where her partners on the set were Catherine Deneuve and Michel Blanc) and "Ashes and blood "Fanny Ardant.

The heroine of the trilogy, married almost as a child, who gave birth to her husband and raised four children, fights for her freedom in this tape, and its action takes place entirely in a divorce court. A special screening of the film was organized in the Knesset to demonstrate to Israeli lawmakers the injustice of religious divorce proceedings. However, "Geth" is not straightforwardly polemical, and Vivian's husband, who refuses to give her a divorce, is not a villain, but an unhappy man who has almost nothing left in his life, which, however, does not prevent him from taking full advantage of the shortcomings of the Jewish law system to tie your wife to yourself.
