Synopsis

The story follows seven characters living in a small enclave between Jaffa and Bat-Yam, the last area not yet transformed into real estate property. In a small orchard with several structures used for living and as a makeshift garage, a small community lives at their own laid-back pace, different from that of the surrounding city.

A young journalist named Yael (Yuval Scharf) arrives to investigate a mysterious story surrounding the death of the family matriarch, Anna, who was born in a concentration camp in Poland and later married Yusuf after arriving in Israel.
