Synopsis

Drama. A Jewish couple living in Tel Aviv have found it impossible to come to terms with the death of their little boy, thirteen years previously in London. However, when Gabriel, a young Frenchman visiting the area to claim an inheritance from his dying grandmother, arrives on the scene, he has an extraordinarily uplifting effect on the wife, Asya. When Gabriel disappears suddenly, Asya is distraught, and her husband begins to search for him although the task is seemingly impossible. In a parallel story, the couple's daughter, Dafi, begins a tentative romance with a young Palestinian mechanic, Na'im.
