Moche seems to have hit rock bottom. His businesses are sinking. Twenty years ago, in Israel, he was a promising poet but the recognition enjoyed at that time didn’t reach his expectations. After the birth of his son, he decided to move to New York, looking for fortune. He never came back.
Tzach is a handsome young man, a soldier of the Israeli army. Following his mather’s death, Tzach finds the address of his father among his mother’s personal affairs. He decides to call him, giving a shape to years of constrained rage and anger. This unexpected contact disrupts Mose’s life also and the world of denial he had built during years begins to crumble.
The film deals both with the father-son relationship, and the illusory quest for redemption.
